Popis: Experiments on shock compression of diamond foils with intense laser are reported. In order to explore high-pressure and low-temperature region of the carbon phase-diagram, we irradiate single-crystal (Type-Ib) crystal foils with a shaped (ramp) pulse at the pressure of over 1TPa. We observed time-resolved reflectivity from the rear surface of the diamond during the shock compression with velocity interferometer system for any reflector (VISAR). Simultaneous observation of optical measurements and x-ray diffraction has been tested. Preliminary results on decompression of the diamond crystal due to x-ray heating were observed.
