Compressive studie

In (2.19), F has been replaced by P because force and pressure are identical for a one-dimensional system. In (2.20), S/m has been replaced by E, the specific internal energy (energy per unit mass). Note that all of these relations are independent of the physical nature of the system of beads and depend only on mechanical properties of the system. These equations are equivalent to (2.1)-(2.3) for the case where Pg = 0. As we saw in the previous section, they are quite general and play a fundamental role in shock-compression studies. 

In this chapter physical properties of solids at finite strain within their purely elastic ranges will be investigated. Although the strain levels of a few percent are small relative to the total compressions of typical shock-compression studies, they are large compared to those typically encountered in higher-order elastic property investigations.

The formulation of spatially separated a and 7r interactions between a pair of atoms is grossly misleading. Critical point compressibility studies show [71] that N2 has essentially the same spherical shape as Xe. A total wave-mechanical model of a diatomic molecule, in which both nuclei and electrons are treated non-classically, is thought to be consistent with this observation. Clamped-nucleus calculations, to derive interatomic distance, should therefore be interpreted as a one-dimensional section through a spherical whole. Like electrons, wave-mechanical nuclei are not point particles. A wave equation defines a diatomic molecule as a spherical distribution of nuclear and electronic density, with a common quantum potential, and pivoted on a central hub, which contains a pith of valence electrons. This valence density is limited simultaneously by the exclusion principle and the golden ratio.

Amongst the main parameters of interest in rapid compression studies are the temperature and pressure that are reached at the end of compression. Pressure measurements are made by fast response pressure transducers (>10kHz), and ignition delay times are measured from the pressure-time profiles. The measurements of pressure may be supplemented by the detection of light output through windows, and by chemical analysis at intermediate stages of reaction by rapid expansion and quenching methods [22, 99-101]. 

As with crystalline quartz, feldspar crystals also transform to diaplectic glass when, subjected to shock compression. Studies of diaplectic feldspar glasses liave been carried out by many investigators using many techniques (TEM, X-ray. IR, and Ramiui spectroscopy, and thermal analysis [11,15,19,22,25,28-30.44-47] However, tire number of atomic scale structural studies is limited [25,30,33,45]. In this section, our group s recent results on the structural analysis of some diaplectic feldspar glasses by X-ray and Raman spectroscopy will be presented, with comparison to many previously obtained data.

Linear profiles are the simplest profiles to use for powder compressions. Typically, a sawtooth or v-shaped profile is used where the punch is extended at a constant velocity and retracts at a constant velocity. In theory, during a sawtooth profile, the punch reverses its motion instantaneously between the compression and a decompression strokes. At low speeds (e.g.. <1 mm/sec), the hydraulic response system can easily accommodate this discontinuity. However, at high speeds (>100mm/.sec), the control system may show a small lag in the position-time waveform (<10 milliseconds) as it attempts to rapidly reverse the direction of punch. The sawtooth waveform is commonly used for more fundamental compression studies (e.g.. Heckel analysis), where the desired powder volume reduction is proportional to time. It is also u.seful when evaluating instrument performance during factory acceptance testing. 

A flexible boundary cubical triaxial test is another commonly used test for compression studies (Kamath et al., 1993 Li and Puri, 1996). A picture of a triaxial compression tester is shown in Figure 8. It allows not only the application of the three principal stresses independently, but also constant monitoring of the volumetric deformation and deformations in three principal directions. In a triaxial compression test, the specimen is at an initial isotropic state of stress then the three pressure lines apply the same pressure at the same rate to all six faces thus pressure is the same in all three directions (i.e., cti = 02 = 03). 

Thermodynamic parameters of Mn-Si, Ag-Ge, Au-Sn, ° and Lu-Pb ° liquid metal solutions have been examined. Atomic ordering in Zn-Sn melts, assessed from the results of X-ray diffraction and adiabatic compressibility studies, has been reported it is concluded that interactions between like elements are stronger than between unlike elements, leading to positive deviations from ideality. ... 

The shape of the curve determined by 3-D osmotic pressure measurements is similar to that determined by the 2-D compression studies. This congruence is strongly suggestive of the absolute validity of this shape for steric stabilization in better than 0-solvents. 

Let us assume that the particles pack as either an ordered hexagonal or face-centred cubic lattice. Both arrays yield identical results in the following analysis. There is definite evidence for the latter from light diffraction and small angle neutron scattering studies (Ottewill, 1980). The case of a hexagonally closed packed array is shown in Fig. 13.6. We will assume the complete absence of defects, which may well be very important in actual compression studies. We will calculate the pressure on one side of a hypothetical plane inserted into the lattice along a slip-plane. 

The excitation of the A-degree of freedom with compression in these T=0 results is displayed in Fig. 5. At the maximum compression studied here, the results indicate the conversion of less than 10% of a single nucleon to a A. 

Since the residue from the catalyzed liquefaction process was observed to volatilize at temperatures above llO C, the compression study on this specimen was carried out from lO C to 90°G. As is shown in the thermal curves given in Figure 11, the Process 2 residue is observed to undergo softening over a broad temperature range with a maximum rate of compression observed at 34 C in the DTMA curve. 

One area of disagreement in the current comparison of theoretical and experimental data, is in the density reported by Wang et al. (2004) in their compression study of the C nanotubes, and that reported for the candidate hexagonite stmcture from first principles theory. Experimentally, the density of the hexagonal C polymorph of unknown structure is given as 3.6 0.2 g/cm, while the theoretically calculated value for the density of hexagonite is some 32% lower than this experimental value, at 2.449 g/cm. It is thus important here to note, that the density of the starting oriented, powdered nanotube material in this compression synthesis can be estimated to be lower than the known density of fullerite at 1.75 g/cm. ...

The polyamorphism in a—Si and a—Ge has been studied extensively via compression studies of the solid amorphous materials at ambient T, combined with MD simulations and ab initio calculations. Deb et al. compressed a porous variety of crystalline Si and observed the occurrence of PIA above 14 GPa [51]. Raman spectroscopic investigations indicated that the a—Si material produced by the PIA event was substantially different to the normal tetrahedrally bonded amorphous solid, and that it likely had its atoms in high coordination. From an examination of the optical reflectivity, the amorphous form was thought to be metallic. It was proposed that the PIA event had produced the new HDA form of a—Si, by analogy with the previous observations reported for H2O and its density driven LDA HDA polyamorphism [37,62]. During decompression the HDA a—Si sample was observed to return to its normal LDA state below approximately 4 5 GPa [51]. McMillan et al. then prepared bulk a—Si samples using a solid state chemistry approach [102], and studied the occurrence of polyamorphism at high P via in situ Raman spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements [103,104] (Fig. 4).
