Application of introduced nano-diamonds for the study of carbon condensation during detonation of condensed explosives

This paper describes experimental studies of the formation of nano-diamonds during the detonation of TNT/RDX 50/50 mixture with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method at a synchrotron radiation beam on VEPP-3 accelerator. A new experimental method with the introduction of nano-diamonds into the explosive has been applied. inclusion of the diamonds obtained after detonation into the TNT and RDX explosives allows modelling of the case of instant creation of nano-diamonds during detonation.
