High-pressure X-ray diffraction studies have been performed on ThP using synchrotron radiation and a diamond-anvil cell. The bulk modulus B 0 and its pressure derivative B′0 have been determined (B 0 = 137 GPa; B′0 = 5.1). A phase transition from the NaCl structure to the CsCl structure was observed at about 30 GPa.

In situ high pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 under pressures up to 35 GPa have been performed by using diamond anvil cell with synchrotron radiation. The results show that the structure of layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 is unstable under pressure due to the easy compression of NaCl-type blocks. The structure of Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 underwent two phase transitions under pressures in the range of 0~35 GPa. One was at about 1.3 GPa with the crystal structure changing from tetragonal to orthorhombic. The other was at about 9.5 GPa with the crystal structure changing from orthorhombic back to another tetragonal.

A structure and equation of the state of δ-AlOOH has been studied at room temperature, up to 29.35 GPa, by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell using synchrotron radiation. Above ~10 GPa, we observed a phase transition with symmetry changes from P21nm to Pnnm. Pressure-volume data were fitted with the second order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state and showed that, at the phase transition, the bulk modulus (K0) of the calculated wrt 0 pressure increases from 142(5) to 216(5) GPa.

In-situ high-pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on CuBa 2- Ca 3 Cu 4 O 10 + δ (Cu-1234) have been performed by using diamond anvil cell (DAC) device with synchrotron radiation. The results suggest that the crystal structure of Cu-1234 superconductor is stable under pressures up to 34 GPa at room temperature. According to the Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, the bulk modulus is obtained to be ~ 150 GPa.

AbstractThis paper has made an overview on elastic and structural aspects of three distinct superlattices under hydrostatic pressure up to about 8GPa, which were studied by our unique x-ray diffraction technique incorporated with a diamond-anvil cell. They are metallic fcc/fcc Au/Ni, bcc/fcc Mo/Ni, and semiconductive epitaxially-grown PbSe/SnSe superlattices. In their layer-stacking direction, both metallic superlattices show the supermodulus behavior while the semiconductive one doesn't. However, its pressure-driven cubic-to-orthorhombic phase transition, successively taking place in the SnSe and PbSe layers, has been found to significantly shift by stress due to its epitaxial growth.

ABSTRACTHigh pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments were conducted on KCa2Nb3O10, to determine lattice constants as a function of pressure. A diamond anvil cell was used to produce pressures up to 66 GPa. A phase transition occurred at 13.5 GPa. From the lattice constants, linear compressibilities of 8.55 × 10-4 GPa-1 in the a direction, -9.40 × 10-4 GPa-1 in the b direction, and 142 × 10-4 GPa-1 in the c direction, and a bulk modulus of 68.5 GPa were found for the lower pressure orthorhombic phase.

Polycrystalline Ni50Al50 suitable for high pressure studies was prepared by grinding and subsequent annealing of an inert-gas atomized alloy. The equation of state was determined by energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell to 25 GPa. The bulk modulus Bo and the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus B′o were found to be Bo = 156 ± 3 GPa and B′o = 4.0 ± 0.5.

The crystal structure of the high-pressure polymorph of meyerhofferite, ideally Ca2B6O6(OH)10·2(H2O), has been determined by means of single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. Meyerhofferite undergoes a first-order isosymmetric phase transition to meyerhofferite-II, bracketed between 3.15 and 3.75 GPa, with a large volume discontinuity. The phase transition is marked by an increase in the coordination number of the boron B1 site, from III to IV, leading to a more interconnected and less compressible structure. The main structural differences between the two polymorphs and the P-induced deformation mechanisms at the atomic scale are discussed.
