Measured sound speeds and stress‐density states reveal how liquid silica behaves under extreme pressures.
At 154 GPa, results show that the Grüneisen parameter increases as silica is compressed in a state comparable to deep planetary mantles.
Using laser interferometry, researchers studied shock wave profiles to understand silica's phase, focusing on transitions between solid and liquid forms.
Understanding the behavior of liquid silica at high pressures is crucial for theories on planetary formation and differentiation.
