Abstract
The as-shocked specimen showed an oriented crystal structure with the latti ce constants of the orthorhombic cell with a=0.3830nm, b=0.3899nm and c=1.1 693nm for as-shocked bulk YBCO calculated by XRD(X-ray powder diffraction a nalysis) just after the shock compaction under 5.71GPa. Also from magnetic torque measurements, it is found that c-axis orientation is perpendicular t o the pellet disk plane.
