In this work, the high pressure behavior of four major $SiO_{2}$ polymorphs were investigated by means of dynamic compression: α-quartz, fused silica, stishovite and α-cristobalite. Here, laser shock compression and dynamic diamond anvil cell (dDAC) techniques were applied and the concomitant use of hard X-ray radiation at synchrotron- and X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities made a time-resolved investigation of the lattice response at high pressures possible.
