Abstract

Single crystals of LiF, Al, and graphite have been studied by x-ray diffraction while undergoing shock-wave compression to about 300 kbar. These studies show that single crystals can transform to the hydrostatically compressed state essentially as single crystals, and crystal orientation is preserved.
