Popis: Impact of shock waves on non-linear optical materials bring about a lot of unknown behaviors of materials and such kinds of shock wave recovery experiments are highly required for the better understanding of material-property relationship. In the present context, we have performed experiments on the impact of structural properties of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) samples under shock wave loaded conditions and the results of the test samples have been evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) technique. Interestingly, prismatic face of ADP shows loss of degree of crystallinity whereas pyramidal face shows enhancement of crystalline nature with respect to number of shock pulses due to shock wave induced dynamic re-crystallization. Hence, the present problem is worthy enough to unearth and understand the anisotropic nature of the ADP crystal and their structural modifications at shock wave loaded conditions.
