Abstract:
High pressure (up to ∼2.2 GPa) Raman scattering studies were performed in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) under static and dynamic compressions using diamond anvil cell (DAC) and laser-driven shock methods, respectively, and their results are compared. The laser-driven shock experiments were conducted in a glass-confined target geometry. The symmetric stretching mode ν1, symmetric bending mode ν2, and asymmetric bending mode ν4 blueshifts with pressure. Mode Gruneisen parameters were obtained for the above Raman modes. Time-resolved Raman spectroscopic (TRRS) studies were performed under laser-driven shock compression at different delay times. Shock velocity deduced from the intensity ratios of Raman signal scattered from unshocked and shocked regions of symmetric stretching mode is in agreement with the one obtained from one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations.

For example, consider a scenario where a truck is connected to a car by a rope, ready to tow it along a road. When no external force is applied by the truck, the car remains stationary and is said to be in static equilibrium. In this case, the forces acting on the car, such as gravity and the...

When the source's speed approaches the speed of sound, constructive interference between successive wavefronts emitted by the source occurs immediately behind it. Initially, scientists believed that this constructive interference would result in such high...
