Pressure-cooking of explosives--the crystal structure of epsilon-RDX as determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction.
The high-pressure, high-temperature epsilon-form of the widely used explosive RDX has been structurally characterised using a combination of diffraction techniques, and a sample of this form has been successfully recovered to ambient pressure.
