@Book{1973596652, author="Heuser, Benjamin", title="Synthesis of nanodiamonds via laser-driven shock compression of plastic precursors", year="2025", address="Germany; Rostock", abstract="This thesis explores the formation and recovery of nanodiamonds (NDs) created by laser-driven shock compression of plastics, mimicking conditions in planetary interiors. Using a combination of theoretical and experimental methods it investigates the properties and behaviour of NDs during and after compression. This work also studies how laser pulse shaping influences ND properties. With the use of a vacuum-compatible catcher material, this work has - for the first time - provided experimental evidence of the intact recovery of NDs from laser-driven shock compression of plastics.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="vorgelegt von Benjamin Heuser", note="GutachterInnen: Dominik Kraus (Universit{\"a}t Rostock) ; Alessandra Ravasio ({\'E}cole Polytechnique) ; Dirk Gericke (University of Warwick)", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2025", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00005646", url="https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005646", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005646", language="English" }
