Table 2 Experimentally determined pressure and temperature states of shocked Sm. Values are averaged during the quasi-static period in each case except Shot 5, which was restricted to \(t < 160\) ns. Parenthesis indicate temperatures obtained from the 1125 nm band only; all other temperatures are based on three spectral bands.
Experiment | Interface velocity (km/s) | Temperature (K) | Pressure (GPa) |

Shot 1 | 1.43 ± 0.01 | 1330 ± 40 | 31.9 ± 1.2 |
Shot 3 | 1.56 ± 0.01 | 1370 ± 40 | 36.7 ± 3.1 |
Shot 4 | 1.63 ± 0.02 | 1470 ± 40 | 40.1 ± 1.0 |
