Abstract
The 27GPa pressure-induced epsilon–phi phase transition in octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) is explored using the isentropic compression experiment (ICE) technique at the Sandia National Laboratories Z-machine facility. Our data indicate that this phase transition is sluggish and if it does occur to any extent under the time scales (200–500ns) and strain rates (5×105) typical of ICE loading conditions, the amount of conversion is small.
