摘要

The particle velocity profiles of an MgO single crystal under shock compression were measured up to a pressure of 35 GPa by a velocity interferometer system for any reflector using a LiF window combined with a powder gun. The Hugoniot-elastic limit (HEL) of MgO along the < 100 > direction was 2.9-4.3 GPa and the initial elastic waves contain some oscillations. Along the < 110 > direction, the HEL was higher than along the < 100 > direction and anomalous, two-step-structure elastic waves were observed. These characteristics are discussed based on the slip system of the MgO crystal.
