Abstract
A complete understanding of shock waves in materials requires comprehensive microscopic understanding of the compression wave. In many materials this is complicated by phase transitions such as solid-to-solid and melting. To study these dynamics we are using short pulse lasers in high time resolution pump-probe experiments to develop a real time diagnostic on the phase of a shocked material. This can enable a probing of the entire phase history of a material as it shock compresses and then releases from the back surface.
