  • 高压结构与相变研究对理解物质在极端压缩条件下的性质变化和动力学响应行为具有重要的科学价值, 然而部分过渡金属的动/静高压熔化线差异一直是多年来悬而未解的科学难题. 其中动、静高压固-液相界幅值差异最大的是第五副族金属, 以钒最为反常, 至今仍缺乏自洽的物理认识和理解. 本文采用高能脉冲激光驱动的瞬态X射线衍射诊断技术, 对冲击压缩下钒的熔化特性进行了研究, 首次获取了冲击压缩下钒在200 GPa范围内的晶体结构响应随压力变化的衍射图谱. 研究发现, 冲击压力为155 GPa时, 钒仍保持固态bcc相; 至约190 GPa时转变为液态. 这一结果否定了早期确定的静压熔化线, 与最新的冲击熔化线及高温高压相图符合, 为钒高压熔化线的统一认识提供了新的微观实验证据. 本工作亦可推广至其他材料熔化特性的研究工作中.

     

    The solid-liquid phase transition under shock wave loading in materials is called shock melting. Shock melting is important not only in fields like high pressure EOS or material dynamic response, but also in applications like device protection in modern industry and national defense construction. The obtaining of precise melting curve is more than understanding the high pressure melting behavior, and it can provide the reliable evidence for the theoretical model of melting mechanism. So the solid-liquid phase transition under extreme conditions is a research hotspot, and a lot of researches have been carried out. But, the enormous discrepancy between the melting curve of dynamic loading and hydrostatic loading in transition metals, especially, the vanadium has been unclear for decades. The difference in melting temperature under 200 GPa between dynamic loading and hydrostatic loadirng is as large as twice (about 4000 K). Recently, Errandonea and Zhang’s experiments present a new insight into this discrepancy, indicating that the new shock melting curve is consistent with the extrapolated melting curve contained by LH-DAC. But all the dynamic loading experimental data are measured by macroscopic quantities; they can determine the occurrence of the phase transition, but cannot provide the microscopic structure of the material under extreme conditions. So, as the technic of in situ X-ray diffraction has developed well in recent years, we use the high power laser driving technic combining with in situ X-ray diffraction measurement to explore the structure of vanadium near the melting line. We measure the micro structure of vanadium at up to 200 GPa in shock experiment for the first time. We find that the bcc phase transition is not observed at around 60 GPa, which is different from previous experiments in DAC or gas gun loading experiments, but consistent with Chen’s leaser driving experiment. The result confirms that when the impact pressure is 155 GPa, vanadium still remains solid BCC phase. It becomes liquid at about 190 GPa. In contract to Zhang’s results, the DXRD melting point is consistent with the new melting line. This work provides the evidence of the consistency of shock and hydrostatic melting curve, confirming the phase boundary of vanadium under 200 GPa. This work has important scientific significance in understanding the pressure melting behavior of transition metals. The method in this work can be applied to the research of melting properties of other materials.
