摘要
The phase transition of iron under shock compression has attracted much attention in recent decades because of its importance in fields such as condensed matter physics, geophysics, and metallurgy. At room temperature, the transition of iron from the alpha-phase (bcc) to the epsilon-phase (hpc) occurs at a stress of 13 GPa. At high temperature, a triple point followed by transformation to the gamma-phase (fcc) is expected. However, the details of the high-temperature phase transitions of iron are still under debate. Here, we investigate the phase-transition behavior of polycrystalline iron under compression from room temperature to 820 K. The results show that the shock-induced phase transition is determined unequivocally from the measured three-wave-structure profiles, which clearly consist of an elastic wave, a plastic wave, and a phase-transition wave. The phase transition is temperature-dependent, with an average rate Delta sigma(tr)/Delta T of -6.91 MPa/K below 700K and -34.7 MPa/K at higher temperatures. The shock alpha-epsilon and alpha-gamma phase boundaries intersect at 10.6 +/- 0.53 GPa and 763 K, which agrees with the alpha-epsilon-gamma triple point from early shock wave experiments and recent laser-heated diamond-anvil cell resistivity and in situ X-ray diffraction data but disagrees with the shock pressure-temperature phase diagram reported in 2009 by Zaretsky [J. Appl. Phys. 106, 023510 (2009)]. Published by AIP Publishing.
