Abstract Shock-loading experiments are performed on single-crystal specimens of BaZnGeO4 (BZG) between 13 and 51 GPa using a propellant gun and a two-stage light gas gun. Observation by an optical microscope reveals that all the shocked specimens are made of fragmented blocks of 10 ∼ 100 μm in size. X-ray analyses indicate that the samples shocked to pressures above 41 GPa became a polycrystalline state of BZG with a weakly textured structure. A small amount of dissociation products of BaGeO3 (pyroxene type) and ZnO (wurtzite type) are detected in this pressure range. Between 27 and 19 GPa, a new phase which is thought to be produced by considerable deformations in the ring structure consisting of ZnO4 and GeO4 tetrahedra is observed. Below 19 GPa, shocked specimens are brought into a well aligned mosaic structure, but no significant change in the crystal structure is detected.
