High-Pressure Shock Compression of Solids V [electronic resource] : Shock Chemistry with Applications to Meteorite Impacts / edited by Lee Davison, Yasuyuki Horie, Toshimori Sekine

This volume is concerned primarily with the chemical and physical effects of shock waves on typical materials. It compares naturally occurring materials with similar materials produced by shock compression in the laboratory, providing clues about the environment and events that produced the natural materials.
