Multimillion atom non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for shock compressed iron are analyzed using Fourier methods to determine the long scale ordering of the crystal. By analyzing the location of the maxima in k-space we can determine the crystal structure and compression due to the shock. This report presents results from a 19.6 GPa simulated shock in single crystal iron and compare them to recent experimental results of shock compressed iron where the crystal structure was determined using in-situ wide angle x-ray diffraction.
