Response of Energetic Solids to Light, Heat and Shock Pulses

Abstract

Despite wide ranging efforts, little is known about the molecular basis of initiation to detonation by shock waves of energetic solid materials. Ultrafast optical spectroscopy was used to study molecular energy transfer and shock wave induced chemistry in energetic materials and related systems. Theoretical models were developed to gain further understanding of these important processes.... Energetic materials, Initiation to detonation, Shock waves, Ultrafast optical spectroscopy.
