Laser Shock Technique Replicates Extreme Pressures of Planet Formation
HIROSHIMA, Japan, Aug. 10, 2016 — A laser shock wave technique has been used to create pressures and temperatures comparable to the extreme collisions between objects in space in order to measure the shock response of forsterite, a major planetary material and the most abundant constituent of Earth’s mantle. Previous studies, performed without the laser shock technique, only measured the properties of forsterite at shock pressures below 200 Giga Pascals (GPa). The experiments using laser shock compression put forsterite
