Abstract

We used shock compression of a mixture of boron nitride powder with an alkali halide salt as an additive to realize the phase transformation of turbostratic BN to the cubic modification. We have experimentally studied the effect of the type and amount of the additive and also the initial density of the mixture on the yield of the cubic phase of BN. We have roughly calculated the pressure and temperature arising upon shock compression of powder mixtures in an annular cylindrical storage ampul. We have shown that melting of the additive has a substantial effect on development of the phase transformation in boron nitride under shock loading conditions.
