Hypervelocity impact processes are uniquely capable of generating shock metamorphism,
which causes mineralogical transformations and deformation that register pressure (P) and …

The terrestrial record of meteorite impacts is difficult to decipher because unequivocal
evidence of impact is increasingly destroyed with time by erosion, burial, and tectonics …

The structure, the elastic properties, and the Raman frequencies of the zircon and reidite
polymorphs of ZrSiO4 were calculated as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 30 GPa …

The high‐pressure behavior of hafnon has been systematically investigated by combining in
situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction, Raman, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy …

The deformation of zircon by various mechanisms, including brittle fracture, dislocation
creep, twinning, and transformation to a high‐pressure polymorph (reidite), is preceded by …

In this paper, the microwave (2.45±0.025 GHz) was introduced to prepare zircon-matrix
material for dealing with high-level radioactive waste at 1500° C for the first time, and the …

In this study, we use laser-driven shock compression coupled with in situ X-ray diffraction to
interrogate the phase transition dynamics of shock-compressed zircon (ZrSiO4) for the first …

We have investigated the electronic structure and the mechanism of the pressure induced
phase transition of beryllium selenide (BeSe) by employing a first-principles pseudopotential …

Zircon (ZrSiO4) provides a good pressure-holding environment for ultra-high-pressure
metamorphic minerals during crust exhumation due to its high incompressibility and …

Deformation behavior of multiphase aggregates has great significance for materials design
and understanding the dynamics of the Earth. Here we studied the deformation of zircon …
