Abstract
The shock compression behavior of LiF has not been well studied in the pressure region between several and several 10s of GPa. In this study, the Hugoniot-measurements experiments were performed on a LiF single crystal for the and axis orientations in such pressure region by means of the inclined-mirror method combined with a powder gas. As a result, anisotropic Hugoniot-compression behaviors were observed. The shock front profiles showed an anomalous multi-wave structure, which were consistent with the VISAR measurements. The final Hugoniot points along the axis roughly coincided with the static compression curve, but, those along the axis were situated in the higher stress region than those of the axis and converged to them at up to 15 GPa. The Hugoniot data in the higher pressure region coincide with those obtained by the flash-gap method.© (1997) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
