Resumen:
Planar shock waves in single-crystal copper were simulated using nonequilibrium molecular
dynamics with a realistic embedded atom potential. The simulation results are in good agreement
with new experimental data presented here, for the Hugoniot of single-crystal copper along k100l.
Simulations were performed for Hugoniot pressures in the range 2 GPa 800 GPa, up to well above
the shock induced melting transition. Large anisotropies are found for shock propagation along
k100l , k110l, and k111l, with quantitative differences from pair potentials results. Plastic
deformation starts at Up*0.75 km/ s, and melting occurs between 200 and 220 GPa, in agreement
with the experimental melting pressure of polycrystalline copper. The Voigt and Reuss averages of
our simulated Hugoniot do not compare well below melting with the experimental Hugoniot of
polycrystalline copper. This is possibly due to experimental targets with preferential texturing and/or
a much lower Hugoniot elastic limit.
