Abstract:
The shock compressibility of the metal halides CuI and TlCl is investigated experimentally. A discontinuity on the of copper iodide at a shock-load compressibility curve amplitude of 110 kbar is recorded by the reflection method and is shown to be due to disproportionation of the compound at the shock wavefront. The shock-wave characteristics of the high- and low-pressure phases are obtained. The compressibility curve of TICI is found to be smooth in the given range of load parameters.
