Tóm tắt

The Hugoniot of the rutile phase of titanium dioxide has been determined to 1.25 megabars, and data show the existence of a phase change at about 0.33 megabar. The volume decrease associated with this transformation appears to be quite large (approximately 21 percent). Rutile, when recovered from shock-loading in excess of the transformation pressure, is found to be irreversibly transformed to the orthorhombic lead dioxide structure (a distortion of the fluorite structure) with parameters a , 4.529; b , 5.464; and c , 4.905 angstroms and a calculated density of 4.374 grams per cubic centimeter. The new phase reverts to rutile at temperatures above 450°C. It is suggested that the new phase may be another diagnostic indicator of meteorite impact on the earth's surface.
