Abstract
Time-resolved high-energy x-ray diffraction measurements were used to examine laser shock-induced changes in cadmium sulfide single crystals compressed along the c axis near 1.5 and 3.5 GPa. Macroscopic compression under different loading conditions was monitored through the evolution of the (004) Bragg reflection in Laue geometry. In the low-stress experiments, the elastic response of the sample was evidenced by reversible changes of the intensity profiles, while a plastic behavior was observed in the high-stress experiments. A residual (004) reflection is observed in the rocking curve obtained from the crystal shocked to 3.5 GPa, in addition to two peaks at higher angle.
