Abstract

A CAREFUL re-investigation of the response of α-iron (body-centred cubic) to shock loading, using an improved technique for the measurement of electrical resistivity during shock compression, has provided data that are in substantial disagreement with the phase transition results obtained by Fuller and Price1. In addition to describing this disagreement, we report here the possible existence of a new dynamic phase transition in iron.
