Picosecond X-ray diffraction from shock-compressed metals : experiments and computational analysis of molecular dynamics simulations

In this thesis, Molecular Dynamics simulations of shocked single crystals of Copper and Iron are studied using simulated X-ray diffraction. Strains and volumetric compression in modeled Copper crystals shock-compressed on picosecond time-scales are found. By comparing the shifts in the second and fo...
