Abstract

Abstract

Methods for facilitating the fast energy release of aluminum to enhance detonation performance will be discussed. The energy release rates of milligram-quantity samples have been compared by measuring the laser-induced shock wave velocities and tracking the formation of AlO on both the microsecond- and millisecond-timescales.
