Equation-of-state, sound speed, and reshock of shock-compressed fluid carbon dioxide

Mechanical equation-of-state data of initially liquid and solid CO2 shock-compressed to terapascal conditions are reported. Diamond-sapphire anvil cells were used to vary the initial density and state of CO2 samples that were then further compressed with laser-driven shock waves, resulting in a data set from which precise derivative quantities, including Gruneisen parameter and sound speed, are determined. Reshock states are measured to 800 GPa and map the same pressure-density conditions as the single shock using different thermodynamic paths. The compressibility data reported here do not support current density-functional-theory calculations, but are better represented by tabular equation-of-state models.
