Abstract

Aluminum sandwich foils can be compressed to more than twice the normal density by the use of shock waves generated by laser beams. We present calculations of the K-edge absorption structure of two fold compressed aluminum, and compare the results with experimental data. The atomic potential is calculated using a spherical band-structure model with Fermi-Dirac statistics for the electrons. The structure above the K-edge is calculated according to the Müller-Shaich formula for the propagating photo-electron. The mean free path of the electron is taken into account through a complex exchange correlation potential. An appropriate Debye-Waller factor is used to represent the effect of the relatively high temperature encountered in these experiments.
