Electrical measurements on fused quartz under shock compression
The resistivities of specimens of SiO_2 (fused quartz) singly and doubly shocked in the 10–45 and 27–90 GPa ranges, respectively, demonstrate a marked decrease from values of ∼10–0.1 Ω⋅m at a single‐shock pressure of ∼40 and a double‐shock pressure of ∼74 GPa. These states correspond to calculated shock temperatures of ∼3300 and ∼3600 K, respectively. At shock pressures below 36 GPa the measured resistivity versus calculated shock temperature agrees closely with ambient‐pressure and high‐temperature resistivity data. This suggests that the ionic conduction mechanisms inferred to control electrical properties at ambient pressure also act under shock‐induced high temperatures in quartz and the presumed high‐pressure phase, stishovite into which fused quartz appears to transform above 20 GPa. At 36–40 GPa the rapid decrease in resistivity by a factor of 10^2 suggests a further transformation to an unknown phase which may correspond to the onset of melting. The existing pressure‐density Hugoniot data do not demonstrate any anomalous density change associated with this phase change
Shock-induced radiation spectra of fused quartz
An optical multichannel analyzer is applied to observe shock-induced radiation spectra of fused quartz in the 23–31 GPa shock-pressure range. Characteristics of sample-driver interface strongly influence both intensity and profile of the observed spectra. Brightness and color temperature are determined by an integration of spectral radiance and a fit to the greybody radiation spectrum, respectively. The resultant brightness and color temperature are lower and considerably higher than those estimated by the theoretical calculation, respectively. Some broad but strong line spectra are, however, superimposed onto the continuous greybody radiation spectrum even though the influences of the interface are reduced as much as possible. The line spectra are probably caused by electroluminescence and/or triboluminescence
