Amorphization and a Polymorphic Transformation of Boron Stimulated by High Dynamic Pressures
Structural transformations of polycrystalline boron have been studied under megabar multiple-shock compression. Shock-wave experiments on the compression and subsequent recovery of polycrystalline…
Femtosecond diffraction studies of solid and liquid phase changes in shock-compressed bismuth
TLDR
It is shown that shocked-Bi exhibits a marked departure from equilibrium behavior - the incommensurate Bi-III phase is not observed, but rather a new metastable phase, and the Bi-V phase is formed at significantly lower pressures compared to static compression studies.
Electrical conductivity and equations of states of β-rhombohedral boron in the megabar dynamic pressure range
The pressure dependence of the conductivity of boron under conditions of a stepwise shock compression of megabaric range is studied. With this purpose, the following problems have been solved. The…
Structure measurements of compressed liquid boron at megabar pressures
We report on the first measurements of the structure of compressed liquid boron, as it crosses the melt line in dynamic shock-compression experiments at a pressure of 100 GPa. Temporally, spectrally…
Theoretical and experimental investigation of the equation of state of boron plasmas.
TLDR
The self-diffusivity and the effect of thermal and pressure-driven ionization on the EOS and shock compression behavior in high-pressure and -temperature conditions are investigated and the sensitivity of a polar direct-drive exploding pusher platform to pressure variations is studied.

TLDR
The proposed phase diagram explains all thermodynamic aspects of boron allotropy and significantly improves the understanding of the fifth element.
Equation of state and pressure induced amorphization of beta-boron from X-ray measurements up to 100 GPa.
TLDR
The equation of state of boron has been measured up to 100 GPa by single-crystal x-ray diffraction with helium as the pressure transmitting medium and a pressure-induced amorphization is observed.
Phase transition lowering in dynamically compressed silicon
Silicon, being one of the most abundant elements in nature, attracts wide-ranging scientific and technological interest. Specifically, in its elemental form, crystals of remarkable purity can be…
Experimental pressure-temperature phase diagram of boron: resolving the long-standing enigma
TLDR
In a series of high pressure high temperature experiments, single crystals of the three boron phases are synthesised and provided evidence of higher thermodynamic stability of α-B, which opens a way for reproducible synthesis ofα-boron, an optically transparent direct band gap semiconductor with very high hardness, thermal and chemical stability.
Nonicosahedral boron allotrope synthesized at high pressure and high temperature
Theoretical predictions of pressure-induced phase transformations often become long-standing enigmas because of limitations of contemporary available experimental possibilities. Hitherto the…
