Abstract

Intergrowth microstructures of MnF2 subjected to shock compression at 4.4, 9.0 and 21.6 GPa were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Intergrowth microstructures consisting of rutile- and -PbO2-type phases were observed in samples shock-loaded to 4.4 and 9 GPa. The sample subjected to 21.6 GPa consisted of a twin structure with stacking faults, with a rutile-type but not the -PbO2-type phase. In the 9.0-GPa shocked sample, the phase ledge structure originating from a phase transition is directly captured by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
