Double perovskite structural compounds Sr₂FeMoO₆ powders with grain sizes of 50 nm (sample A) and 100 nm (sample B) have been synthesized using polymer-network gel method. Their structural stabilities and electrical properties under high pressure have been investigated. As compared with the result of bulk sample C with μm grain size obtained before, the sample A shows the largest bulk modulus B₀ among the three and largest pressure region for the drop in the curve of resistance versus pressure. The results can be explained in terms of the effect of large amount grain boundaries in nanometer-scale materials. On the basis of the results of resistance and capacitance versus pressure, it is considered that both samples undergo an electronic structural transition under high pressure.

The distortion process of the charge envelope and first breakdown is studied in order to understand the formation process of explosion breakdown. The distortion process driven by explosive detonation is observed by means of schlieren technique. A large distortion medium-water is chosen as the sample for observation. The experimental observations show that the expansion of water in cylinder starts from the end of initiation for initiator, then forms a slant and wave interface. The results indicate that the breakdown of the wave interface starts with an outside. It is an important reason that the instability of interface may make it to destabilize and to break. It is observed experimentally that the matter dimension becomes smaller and smaller at different delay time after the explosive detonated. The influences of explosive detonation light on figure and of explosion vibration on light path were overcomed. A simple trigger was developed, and the problem of synchronization of outside light source with explosive initiation was resolved.

The characteristics of underwater explosions, especially the distributions and the time histories of shock wave overpressures, which are generated by the underwater explosions of cased cylindrical charges initiated in one-end-point, are numerically simulated by using a two-dimensional multi-fluid hydrodynamic fortran code named MFIC. The cylindrical charges studied here are of four different explosives, including TNT, RS-211, T/Γ (35/65) and ROT901. For each explosive four TNT equivalents, 1 kg, 3 kg, 5 kg, and 8 kg, are considered. Each cylindrical charge has a length to diameter of L/D=1.5 and with a 3 mm thick Fe case or Al case. The spacial distributions of peak overpressure of underwater shock wave and overpressure time histories are obtained. Some overpressure time histories of different points and of different explosives for both Al case and Fe case are presented. The results of Fe case are compared with those of Al case.

By comparison of two models of phase transition for graphite to diamond and the analysis of shock wave behaviour in porous materials, the formation mechanism of hot spot and the anonalous atoms transfor mechanism have been discussed. Also, the transition process of graphite to diamond at hot spots region in shock wave front and the regraphitization process upon unloading have been analyzied.

A black-brown powder was synthesized from melamine (C₃N₆H₆) by means of high temperature and high pressure. Based on the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, the powder is composed of some un-decomposed raw material, carbon and intermediate phases. The existence of the intermediate phase with long periodicity along one direction is confirmed from transmission electron microscopy observation; Scanning electron microscopy shows many block tissues, in which a few holes exist; The atomic ratio of carbon and nitrogen is determined as 3.27∶1 in the powder from the measurement of Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis. The high content of C is caused by the existence of carbon decomposed from the raw materials. In addition, the chemical bond states are investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, the main bond styles in the powder are described as C (sp²) N and C (sp²) —N.

On the basis of traditional velocity interferometer, a fiber velocity interferometer system for any reflector (FVISAR) with wide spectrum laser is illustrated. The important properties of the FVISAR are ideal space interference and convenient delay-time setup. Preliminary tests of FVISAR using Hopkinson Bar system shows that the FVISAR works well for low velocity measurement.

We modified the conventional Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique by shaping the incident pulse such that the samples are in dynamic stress equilibrium and in homogeneous deformation during the tests of silicon rubber. According to the method of pulse shaper designing, we had the samples loaded under constant strain rate, and we got the direct relation between the size of pulse shaper and strain rate. A model to predict the incident waveform in the SHPB experiment by use of a single pulse shaper is built according to the theory of stress wave. Incident waveform from experiment and model prediction with H62 brass shaper are obtained. Model predictions are in good agreement with experimental results.

The charge of fuel air explosive (FAE) warhead is usually a solid-liquid mixed fuel, which contains pores to meet the usage and reservation. This study has investigated the influence of pore size on the launching safety by analyzing the physical process of the pore compressing. A criterion is proposed to distinguish the influence of pore size on charge safety in launching, and a quantitative relationship of the launching acceleration, the size of the pore and the temperature of pore in adiabatic compression has been established.

A computer-aided design program for explosive welding parameter was developed. Using Visual C⁺⁺, it is convenient to import and export data by menu as well as visual operations. In comparison with the result of explosive welding test, it was shown that the optimum value of the parameter calculated with the CAD program was in agreement with the experimental result exactly. Using the CAD proposed here, it will be useful to both select the optimum parameter for explosive welding and reduce trial-and-error.

Based on the theoretical analysis of the interaction between diamond and melted cobalt under HP/HT conditions, the effect of temperature and carbon content of the melted cobalt on the sintering process of diamond dissolution and polycrystalline diamond growth are discussed. It is suggested that the diamond is preferable to graphite to dissolve in the melted cobalt under HP/HT and there are three sintering mechanisms in the diamond-cobalt sintering system, that is, the mechanism of diamond rearrangement, dissolution and precipitation and formation of the direct bonding of diamond to diamond. The melted cobalt with different carbon content and temperature can play an important role to weak or cease the covalent bond of diamond at its surfaces, to promote the rearrangement of diamond, to realize the transportation of diamond atoms and finally to form the diamond to diamond bonding structure of polycrystalline diamond. According to the high pressure liquid sintering theory of diamond proposed in this paper, some experimental phenomena found during the HP/HT sintering process of polycrystalline diamond compacts could be explained rationally.

For two kinds of homemade PVDF piezofilm, the shock loading stress-charge curves were calibrated, using light gas gun and shock tube respectively. Results were compared with some other homemade and overseas' PVDF. By measuring the particle velocity in the step-release experiment, the shock release behavior of PVDF was also studied. The hystersis of PVDF was found obviously.

An accurate first-principle density-functional method was used to calculate the twenty borides after their volume were compressed. The electronic structures were compared to each other and their dependence on cell volumes was made clearly. These results may be helpful to modulate physical properties of the borides under pressure.

The results of factorial experiment showed that the significant external factors affecting UHHP sterilization were pressure, temperature and pressure holding time. Based on the results, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed and a second order quadratic equation for UHHP sterilization was built in the present work.
