Abstract:
The mass-velocity profiles in 2,4-dinitro-2,4-diazapentane samples of different densities were registered by a laser interferometer and the electromagnetic technique. The reaction time was shown to reach $\approx$300 nsec and weakly depend on density, while the pressure in the chemical spike can be twice as high as that at the Chapman–Jouguet point. No special features due to diamond formation were observed in the mass-velocity profiles registered in the chemical reaction zone.
