Abstract
WE have observed that a fast rising current pulse can be obtained from a thin layer of anodized aluminium when the layer is subjected to a plane shock wave. This effect has been observed over the pressure range of 5 to 220 kbar. A material which gives such an electrical response to a strong shock wave is of interest from both an experimental and a theoretical viewpoint, so a careful study is now being made of the response of anodized aluminium to strong shock waves.
