Open AccessEvidence for Crystalline Structure in Dynamically-Compressed Polyethylene up to 200 GPa
We investigated the high-pressure behavior of polyethylene (CH2) by probing dynamically-compressed samples with X-ray diffraction. At pressures up to 200 GPa, comparable to those present inside icy giant planets ...

Open AccessDemonstration of X-ray Thomson scattering as diagnostics for miscibility in warm dense matter
The gas and ice giants in our solar system can be seen as a natural laboratory for the physics of highly compressed matter at temperatures up to thousands of kelvins. In turn, our understanding of their struct...

Open AccessMeasuring the structure and equation of state of polyethylene terephthalate at megabar pressures
We present structure and equation of state (EOS) measurements of biaxially orientated polyethylene terephthalate (PET, $$({\hbox {C}}_{10} {\h...
