STUDY OF PROPERTIES OF EXPLOSIVE TRANSITION IN NANOCARBON-MODIFIED COMPLEX COBALT COMPOUNDS UNDER LASER IRRADIATION

The results of initiation of pressed samples of a high explosive (HE), astralene-modified NCP ((5-nitrotetraazolato-N)pentaammine cobalt (III) perchlorate), by radiation of semiconductor laser diodes are presented.Introduction of 0.2 wt. % of astralene into the NCP allows for a 20-fold decrease in the threshold initiation energy. It is shown that the increase of the diameter of the irradiation area of astralene-modified NCP samples from 0.13 to 2.77 mm results in the decrease of the threshold initiation energy density from 1.53 down to 0.31 J/cm.
