Simulation of the graphite–diamond transition in an isentropic process

Аннотация

An equation of state for graphite and diamond has been derived in wide density and temperature ranges. A set of equations for the graphite–diamond phase transition has been presented. Hugoniots for graphite and diamond have been calculated. Numerical simulation data for the graphite–diamond transition in the isentropic compression process using a metallic z-pinch with diamond saving have been reported.
