Abstract
Knowledge about the optical properties of materials at high pressure and high temperature is needed for EOS research. The ability to detect phase transitions under a dynamic process is essential. Ellipsometry measures the change in the polarization of a probe beam reflected from a surface. From the change in polarization, the real and imaginary parts of the time dependent complex index of refraction, N(ω) = n+ik, can be extracted. Since the optical properties of materials are related to the electronic and structural properties of materials ellipsometry can be used to detect phase transition. Phase transition detection by ellipsometry was tested with planar impact experiment provided by a gas gun. The optical properties of 1020 steel target under different impact pressure were measured. Changes were measured for shock wave pressures larger than 130 kbar due to the α → ε phase transition.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
