Neighborite, NaMgF3, is used as a model system for understanding phase transitions in ABX3 systems (e.g., MgSiO3) at high pressures. Here we report diamond anvil cell experiments that identify the following phases in NaMgF3 with compression to 162 GPa: NaMgF3 (perovskite) → NaMgF3 (post-perovskite) → NaMgF3 (Sb2S3-type) → NaF (B2-type) + NaMg2F5 (P21/c) → NaF (B2) + MgF2 (cotunnite-type). Our results demonstrate the existence of an Sb2S3-type post-post-perovskite ABX3 phase. We also experimentally demonstrate the formation of the P21/c AB2X5 phase which has been proposed theoretically to be a common high-pressure phase in ABX3 systems. Our study provides an experimental observation of the full sequence of phase transitions from perovskite to post-perovskite to post-post-perovskite followed by 2-stage breakdown to binary compounds. Notably, a similar sequence of transitions is predicted to occur in MgSiO3 at ultrahigh pressures, where it has implications for the mineralogy and dynamics in the deep interior of large, rocky extrasolar planets.

A new design of diamond anvil high pressure cell suitable for use in infrared and Raman spectroscopy is described. Its performance is demonstrated with particular reference to the pressure dependence of the infrared spectrum of K2PtCl6 and the Raman spectrum of W(CO)6. In contrast to earlier reports, in which forward scattering geometry was used, this design of cell is shown to be very suitable for Raman use in the 180° excitation mode. However, severe limitations are imposed by the fluorescence emission of diamond and of sapphire. Conditions under which the cell can be used for Raman work are summarized. New fluorescence and Raman features are reported for diamond. In particular, a band at 1730 cm−1 is characteristic of type I stones and may be due to C to N bond stretching at defect centers.

The 1 : 1 acetylene–benzene cocrystal, C2H2·C6H6, was synthesized under pressure in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) and its evolution under pressure was studied with single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.

<p>Rapid development of <em>in situ</em> experimental techniques provides researchers with new opportunities to model geological processes, which take place deep in the Earth’s interior. Raman spectroscopy is considered a powerful analytical tool for investigation of the samples subjected to high pressures in a diamond anvil cell, since in such experiments phase assemblages can be determined in real time using measured Raman spectra.</p><p>In this study, we describe experimental methods for <em>in situ</em> observation and spectroscopic analysis of fluids and minerals, which constitute environment for diamond growth, at the upper mantle pressure conditions. Experiments were conducted in the externally heated, “piston-cylinder” type diamond anvil cell at pressures exceeding 6 GPa and temperatures up to 600 degree C. Phase relationships and fluid speciation were monitored during experiments to reconstruct the environment and mechanism of inclusions formation. Compared to other analytical tools, commonly used in combination with diamond anvil cell apparatus, Raman spectroscopy offers several advantages, such as short sample preparation time, non-destructive characterization of the phases observed in the sample chamber and relatively short measurement time.</p><p>This work was supported by grant No. 20-77-00079 from the Russian Science Foundation.</p>
