The azide group becomes increasingly asymmetric with increasing pressure, and the amorphization pressure of azide group is much lower than that of inorganic azide.
The high pressure behavior of TaON was studied using a combination of Raman scattering, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy in diamond anvil cells to 70 GPa at ambient temperature to reveal evidence for a new structural transformation near 30 GPa.
The high-pressure behavior of ammonium iodide (NH4I) has been investigated by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman scattering up to 40 GPa.
