Explosive recombination of compressed spin-polarized hydrogen
- 1. Wihuri Physical Laboratory and Department of Physical Sciences, University of Turku, 20500 Turku, Finland
Description
Spin-polarized atomic hydrogen gas has been compressed to densities >1018/cm3 with liquid 4He at temperatures from 0.24 to 0.67 K in magnetic fields up to 7.5 T. We find that the critical pressure, at which recombination ultimately becomes a thermally triggered explosion, goes through a maximum as a function of temperature. The explosion pressure increases with decreasing sample size and with increasing field and nuclear polarization
