【 摘 要 】

Temperature determination in shock-compressed solids constitutes an important and long-standing scientific need. Since the reduction of Bragg diffracted peaks due to temperature increase, using the Debye-Waller factor, is well established, we examined the use of this approach to determine temperatures in shock-compressed gold and platinum by representing the shocked state as a superposition of density and temperature changes. Comparison of the calculated and measured diffraction peaks did not show good agreement, because x-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles in the shock-compressed state are not governed solely by density and temperature changes. XRD results are also influenced measurably by shock wave induced microstructural changes. Our results demonstrate that contributions from microstructural changes need to be incorporated and modeled in the theoretical analysis to use XRD measurements for reliable temperature determination in shock-compressed solids.
