(2017b), with kind permission of The European Physical Journal D)Wave front characteristics for the shock waves produced by 200-keV/u and 2-MeV/u carbon ions. a, b the wave front position as a function of time, and c, d pressure at the wave front position. Lines correspond to the hydrodynamic model, while symbols show molecular dynamics simulations. See the text for further detailsBack to article page
