Ga2Se3 crystals with an excess of Se were grown by the Bridgman–Stockbarger method and had a defect zinc blende structure with a0 = 5.42 Å [Formula: see text] (1 Å = 10−10 m). At room temperature the resistivity was equal to (4.5 ± 1.5) × 1011 Ω cm, the thermoelectric power was (−1.1 ± 0.1) mV K−1 and the Vickers microhardness was (357 ± 9) kg mm−2. The gamma-induced conductivity was measured in the gamma-emitting power range of 3–340 rad s−1. Pressure dependencies of electrical resistance and thermoelectric power at room temperature allowed us to determine a phase transition of the semiconductor–semiconductor type at 14.2 GPa.

High pressure synthesized samples of nominal composition of Ca 2-x Hg x CuO y with x=0.10~0.20 under reductive synthesis condition showed stable and reproducible resistivity onset transition at 225~254 K accompanied by rapid drop of thermoelectric power without accompanying magnetic susceptibility transition. Fe 1-x S ( x =0) by mechanical alloying method showed resistivity anomaly and thermal hysteresis at 150~180 K. These resistive anomalies may be phase transition of unknown origin rather than an indication of superconductivity.

The phase stability of epsomite under a high temperature and high pressure were explored through Raman spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements in a diamond anvil cell up to ~623 K and ~12.8 GPa. Our results verified that the epsomite underwent a pressure-induced phase transition at ~5.1 GPa and room temperature, which was well characterized by the change in the pressure dependence of Raman vibrational modes and electrical conductivity. The dehydration process of the epsomite under high pressure was monitored by the variation in the sulfate tetrahedra and hydroxyl modes. At a representative pressure point of ~1.3 GPa, it was found the epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O) started to dehydrate at ~343 K, by forming hexahydrite (MgSO4·6H2O), and then further transformed into magnesium sulfate trihydrate (MgSO4·3H2O) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) at higher temperatures of 373 and 473 K, respectively. Furthermore, the established P-T phase diagram revealed a positive relationship between the dehydration temperature and the pressure for epsomite.

The electronic band structure, structural phase transition, metallization and superconducting transition of cubic zinc blende-type indium phosphide ( InP ) and indium nitride ( InN ), under pressure, are studied using TB-LMTO method. These indium compounds become metals and superconductors under high pressure but before that they undergo structural phase transition from ZnS to NaCl structure. The ground-state properties and band gap values are compared with the experimental and previous theoretical results. From our analysis, it is found that the metallization pressure increases with increase of lattice constant. The superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) of InP and InN are obtained as a function of pressure for both the ZnS and NaCl structures and these compounds are identified as pressure-induced superconductors. When pressure is increased Tc increases in both the normal ( ZnS ) and high pressure ( NaCl ) structures. The dependence of Tc on electron–phonon mass enhancement factor λ shows that InP and InN are electron–phonon mediated superconductors. The non-occurrence of metallization, phase transition and onset of superconductivity simultaneously in InP and InN are confirmed.
