The high-pressure behaviour of dirubidium sulfide, Rb2S, with antifluorite-type structure under room conditions (space group Fm\bar 3 m) has been studied up to 8 GPa at room temperature using angle-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction in a diamond–anvil cell (DAC). X-ray measurements have allowed us to completely characterize two phase transitions upon compression: (i) to an anticotunnite-type structure (Pnma) at some pressure between 1 bar and 0.7 GPa, and (ii) to a Ni2In-type structure (P63/mmc) at 2.6 GPa. A gradual transition from the Pnma to the P63/mmc structures seems to occur between 2.6 and 4.5 GPa. These results are in excellent agreement with previous theoretical predictions. Strong luminescence is observed above 2.6 GPa (band maximum at 703 nm) when the transition to the Ni2In-type phase starts to occur, the band maximum showing a non-linear blue shift with pressure. The observed sequence of phase transitions in Rb2S is discussed in relation to the high-pressure structural behaviour of isomorphic sulfides and the structures are compared with the cationic arrays of their corresponding oxides (e.g. rubidium sulfate, in which the sulfide has been oxidized).

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.

ReO3has been studied at pressures up to 52 GPa by X-ray powder diffraction. The previously observed cubicIm3¯ high-pressure phase was shown to transform to a monoclinic MnF3-related phase at about 3 GPa. All patterns recorded above 12 GPa could be indexed on rhombohedral cells. The compressibility was observed to decrease abruptly at 38 GPa. It is therefore proposed that the oxygen ions are hexagonally close packed above this pressure, giving rise to two rhombohedral phases labelled I and II. The zero-pressure bulk moduliBoof the observed phases were determined and the rhombohedral phase II was found to have an extremely large value of 617 (10) GPa. It was found that ReO3transforms back to thePm3¯mphase found at ambient pressure.

The thermal evolution of the crystal structure and phase transitions of KNbO 3 were investigated by high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement of the diffraction data. Two phase transitions from orthorhombic ( Amm 2) to tetragonal ( P 4 mm ) and from tetragonal to cubic ( P m 3 ¯ m ) were confirmed, both on heating and cooling. Both phase transitions are first order based on the observed hysteresis. The mixed displacive and order–disorder nature of the tetragonal to cubic transition is argued based on symmetry and apparent divergence of the atomic positions from pseudo-cubic values. The transition between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phase shows no temperature-dependence for atomic positions and only thermal expansion of the unit cell parameters and is thus discussed in relation to a lattice dynamical instability.
