High-pressure, high-temperature studies of energetic materials - RDX and HMX
One of the aims of this proposal is to quench to ambient pressure a metastable form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX. This is formed above ~4.5 GPa and 448 K but is... -
High-pressure studies of inorganic azides
This proposal seeks to identify and structurally characterise the high-pressure phases of the azide salts of sodium, silver, lead, and the ammonium ion. Azides are examples of... -
High-pressure, high-temperature studies of energetic materials - FOX-7, CL-20...
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 3 important energetic materials - FOX-7, CL-20, and ADN. These experiments are expected...
