Department Description: The Dynamic Materials Properties Department at Sandia National Laboratories (Department 1646) focuses on experimental high-pressure physics using dynamic loading techniques. Our research includes understanding a material’s equation of state, phase transitions, and constitutive properties. The group primarily uses Sandia’s dynamic drivers: the high-velocity gas guns at the STAR facility and the most powerful pulsed-power facility in the world, the 26 million ampere Z facility. The group also has smaller efforts at offsite facilities such as the NIF, the OMEGA Laser facility, and at the Advanced Photon Source. The department primarily uses shock and shockless compression methods to obtain high pressure data. A particularly exciting area of emerging interest is the study of material properties in regions of phase space that are both off-Hugoniot and off the principal isentrope. The department is responsible for designing, executing, diagnosing, and analyzing dynamic materials properties experiments on the Z facility, and at Sandia National Laboratories’ DICE and STAR facilities. Our research often involves Tri-Lab collaborations and we support a broad range of national security efforts. About Sandia: Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting-edge work in a broad array of areas. Some of the main reasons we love our jobs:
