A natural chromian spinel with the composition (Mg0.48(3)Fe0.52(3))(Fe0.06(1)Al0.28(1)Cr0.66(2))2O4 was investigated up to 15 GPa via synchrotron X-ray diffraction with a diamond-anvil cell at room temperature. No phase transition was clearly observed up to the maximum experimental pressure. The pressure–volume data fitted to the third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state yielded an isothermal bulk modulus ( K T 0 ) of 207(5) GPa and its first pressure derivative ( K T 0 ′ ) of 3.2(7), or K T 0 = 202(2) GPa with K T 0 ′ fixed as 4. With this new experimental result and the results on some natural chromian spinels in the literature, a simple algorithm describing the relation between the K T 0 and the compositions of the natural chromian spinels was proposed. To examine this algorithm further, more compression experiments should be performed on natural chromian spinels with different chemical compositions.

We report the high-pressure synthesis and the equation of state (EOS) of a novel nickel carbide (Ni3C). It was synthesized in a diamond anvil cell at 184(5) GPa through a direct reaction of a nickel powder with carbon from the diamond anvils upon heating at 3500 (200) K. Ni3C has the cementite-type structure (Pnma space group, a = 4.519(2) Å, b = 5.801(2) Å, c = 4.009(3) Å), which was solved and refined based on in-situ synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The pressure-volume data of Ni3C was obtained on decompression at room temperature and fitted to the 3rd order Burch-Murnaghan equation of state with the following parameters: V0 = 147.7(8) Å3, K0 = 157(10) GPa, and K0' = 7.8(6). Our results contribute to the understanding of the phase composition and properties of Earth’s outer core.

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.

AbstractIn this work a single crystal of synthetic hercynite, FeAl2O4, was investigated by X-ray diffraction up to 7.5 GPa and at room temperature, in order to determine its pressure–volume equation of state. The unit-cell volume decreases non-linearly with a reduction of 3.4% (i.e. 18.43 Å3). The pressure–volume data were fitted to a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state providing the following coefficients: V0 = 542.58(3)Å3, KT0 = 193.9(1.7) GPa, K' = 6.0(5). These results are consistent with previous investigations of Cr and Al spinels measured with the same experimental approach but the KT0 differs significantly from the experimental determination carried out more than 40 years ago by Wang and Simmons (1972) by the pulse echo overlap method. Our new results were used to redetermine the FeAl2O4(hercynite) = FeO(wüstite) + Al2O3(corundum) equilibrium in P–T space and obtain geobarometric information for Cr-Al spinels found as inclusions in diamond.

AbstractWe investigated the compressional behavior of i-AlCuFe quasicrystal using diamond anvil cell under quasi-hydrostatic conditions by in situ angle-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction measurements (in both compression and decompression) up to 76 GPa at ambient temperature using neon as pressure medium. These data were compared with those collected up to 104 GPa using KCl as pressure medium available in literature. In general, both sets of data indicate that individual d-spacing shows a continuous decrease with pressure with no drastic changes associated to structural phase transformations or amorphization. The d/d0, where d0 is the d-spacing at ambient pressure, showed a general isotropic compression behavior. The zero-pressure bulk modulus and its pressure derivative were calculated fitting the volume data to both the Murnaghan- and Birch-Murnaghan equation of state models. Results from this study extend our knowledge on the stability of icosahedrite at very high pressure and reinforce the evidence that natural quasicrystals formed during a shock event in asteroidal collisions and survived for eons in the history of the Solar System.

The compressional behavior of strontianite SrCO3 was investigated at ambient temperature and high pressure, using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) with Ne as a pressure transmitting medium. X-ray diffraction patterns were collected to ~52 GPa using in situ angle-dispersive synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). A phase transition was observed at ~20 GPa, and no indications of further transitions were detected up to ~52 GPa. The pressure-volume (P-V) data within 0.27-17.35 GPa were fitted to a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state (BM3 EoS) to obtain the elastic coefficients including zero-pressure unit-cell volume, isothermal bulk modulus and its pressure derivative: V0 = 258.4(3) Å3, KT0 = 55(2) GPa, and K'T0 = 4.3(3). The V0 and KT0 were obtained as 258.1(2) Å3 and 57.1(6) GPa, when fixed K'T0 = 4. The axial compressional behavior of strontianite was also investigated by fitting the pressure-lattice parameter data to a parameterized form of the BM3 EoS, and the compression of the a-, b-, and c-axis was strongly anisotropic, with Ka0 = 104(6), Kb0 = 52(12), and Kc0 = 31.6(5) GPa. Based on this and previous studies using different pressure transmitting media (PTM), the effects PTM on the compressional behavior of strontianite were discussed.

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 compression behavior of synthetic magnesium- (Mg-) yttrium (Y) garnet Mg3Y2(SiO4)3has been investigated upto about 8.79 GPa at 300 K usingin situangle-dispersive X-ray diffraction and a diamond anvil cell at the beamline X17C, National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. No phase transition has been observed within the pressure range investigated. The unit-cell parameters and volume decreased systematically with increasing pressure, and a reliable isothermal bulk modulus (KT0) and its pressure derivative (KT0′) were obtained in this study. The values of zero-pressure volumeV0,K0, andK0′refined with a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state areV0=1727.9±0.2 Å3,KT0=145±3 GPa, andK0′=8.5±0.9. IfKT0′is fixed at 4,KT0is obtained as158±2 GPa.

The equation of state of the orthorhombic phase of NiSi withPmmnsymmetry has been determined at room temperature from synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction measurements of its lattice parameters, made in a diamond anvil cell. Measurements were performed up to 44 GPa, using Ne as the pressure medium and Au as the pressure standard. The resulting pressure–volume (P–V) data have been fitted with a Birch–Murnaghan equation of state of third order to yieldV0= 11.650 (7) Å3 atom−1,K0= 162 (3) GPa andK0′ = 4.6 (2). In addition,P–Vdata have been collected on Ni53Si47in the B20 structure using both Ne and He as the pressure media and Cu and Au as the pressure standards, also to 44 GPa. A fit using the same Birch–Murnaghan equation of state of third order yieldsV0= 11.364 (6) Å3 atom−1,K0= 171 (4) GPa andK0′ = 5.5 (3).

AbstractThe isothermal equation of state (EoS) of phase E, Mg1.96(7)Fe0.072(5)Si1.04(5)H3.7(8)O6, has been determined using high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A third-order Birch Murnaghan EoS fit to pressue-volume data collected from room pressure and temperature to 6.7 GPa reveals that phase E has the lowest bulk modulus, KT = 92.9(7) GPa, and highest pressure derivative of the bulk modulus, K' = 7.3(2), for any dense hydrous magnesium silicate (DHMS) yet measured. A parameterized third-order Birch-Murnaghan EoS was also fit to the unit-cell parameters which display significant curvature with increasing pressure. This analysis shows that the c-axis (Kc = 89.1(10) GPa) is 6% more compressible than the a-axis (Ka = 94.8(6) GPa), with little of the anisotropy commonly observed in other layered structures. The high K' is indicative of the similarity to layers of the brucite structure. The introduction of interlayer cation polyhedra to the structure serves to reduce both the anisotropy, by reducing the compressibility perpendicular to the sheets, and the ability to shear, by increasing the coherence between layers.

Abstract The isothermal equation of state of silicon has been determined by synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments up to 105.2 GPa at room temperature using diamond anvil cells. A He-pressure medium was used to minimize the effect of uniaxial stress on the sample volume and ruby, gold and tungsten pressure gauges were used. Seven different phases of silicon have been observed along the experimental conditions covered in the present study.
