Equation-of-state, shock-temperature, and electrical-conductivity data of dense fluid nitrogen in the region of the dissociative phase transition

Abstract

The dissociative phase transition of fluid nitrogen at pressures in the range 30-110 GPa (0.3-1.1 Mbar), temperatures in the range 4000-14 000 K, densities up to 3.5 g/cm3, and internal energies up to 1 MJ/mol was investigated by shock compression. Equation-of-state, shock-temperature, and electrical-conductivity experimental data are presented and analyzed in detail. © 1991 American Institute of Physics.
