Measurement of body centered cubic aluminum at 475 gpa. Under this quasi isentropic compression al remains in the solid state and two solid solid phase transformations are observed. The solid solid al phase transformations fcc hcp and hcp bcc are observed at 216 9 gpa and 321 12 gpa respectively with the bcc phase persisting to 475 gpa. We present the results of several adiabatic release measurements of aluminum from 400 1200 gpa states along the. Nanosecond in situ x ray diffraction and simultaneous velocimetry measurements were used to determine the crystal structure and pressure respectively of ramp compressed aluminum at stress states between 111 and 475 gpa. In situ x ray diffraction is performed to detect the crystal structure. In situ x ray diffraction is performed to detect the crystal structure.
