Here we report quasi-isentropic dynamic compression and thermodynamic characterization of solid, precompressed deuterium over an ultra fast time scale (< 100 ps) and a microscopic length scale (< 1 im). We further report a fast transition in dynamically compressed solid deuterium that is consistent with the ramp to shock transition, with a time scale of less than 10 ps. These results suggest that high density dynamic compression of hydrogen may be possible on microscopic length scales.
