Title: Double elastic shock response of the diamond-SiCcomposite under pressure up to 110GPa
Time: 10:00 - 11:00, November 7
Place: Conference Room 201, Building 6, HPSTAR(Shanghai)
Host: Bin Chen
Abstract:
Shock compression property of the diamond-SiC composite was measured by means of the interferometer technique. Time-resolved free-surface velocity profiles indicate an elastic-plastic-elastic shock response of this composite which is observed for the first time. The elastic-plastic transitionat 12.75GPa is due to the yielding of SiC matrix. In a shock pressure range of 20~110GPa, the bulk composite shows another elastic compression property. The peak pressure is much higher than the HEL of single crystal diamond.
