Researchers experimentally determined the carbon equation of state (EOS) at megabar pressures using laser-driven shock waves. Results indicate high compressibility of carbon under these extreme conditions, expanding our understanding of its behavior.

Area of Science:

  • High-pressure physics
  • Materials science
  • Laser-driven shock wave experiments

Background:

  • The equation of state (EOS) for carbon at megabar pressures is crucial for understanding its behavior under extreme conditions.
  • Previous experimental data and theoretical models for carbon EOS have limitations in the megabar regime.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally determine a new point for the carbon equation of state (EOS) at megabar pressures.
  • To investigate the compressibility of carbon at previously unreached pressures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized laser-driven shock waves to compress carbon samples.
  • Employed "two-materials two-steps" (Al-C) targets to record rear-side emissivity with high spatial and temporal resolution.
  • Applied the impedance mismatch method for direct determination of relative EOS points.

Main Results:

  • Successfully obtained an experimental EOS point for carbon at megabar pressures.
  • Achieved pressures previously unreached in experiments.
  • Observed high compressibility of carbon at megabar pressures.

Conclusions:

  • The experimental data provides a new benchmark for validating theoretical models of carbon EOS.
  • The findings suggest significant deviations from predicted behavior at megabar pressures.
  • Further research is needed to fully characterize carbon's phase diagram under extreme compression.
