Abstract
The response of 100-oriented KCl single crystals having thickness ranged
from 0.05 to 5 mm was studied in series of planar impact experiments
with impact pressure higher than pressure of KCl transformation from B1
to B2 structure. Special attention was paid to providing the similar
velocities of aluminum impactor in all shots. VISAR velocity records
were obtained from free sample surface or from sample-PMMA window
interface. The recorded velocity profiles have three-wave structure
containing elastic El, low-pressure phase Ph1 and high-pressure phase
Ph2 waves. The waves amplitudes were found decaying with the propagation
time and corresponding relaxation times were found equal to 118, 64 and
136 nsec, respectively. The closeness of the relaxation times of Ph1 and
Ph2 waves to the relaxation time of El wave allows us to assume that
dislocation motion is responsible of the growth of nuclei of the
transforming phase.
