Refractive index of [100] lithium fluoride under shock pressures up to 151 GPa

Single-crystal lithium fluoride(LiF) is a widely used window material in shock wave experiments to maintain the shock stress on the sample surface. It is transparent under shock compression up to ∼200 GPa, allowing the interferometer to record the movement of the monitored surface. However, the inte...
