The high-pressure stabilised BiFe1−yScyO3 perovskites exhibit annealing-stimulated irreversible phase transitions, which allows them to be obtained in different structural polymorphs.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) as a new class of alloy have been at the cutting edge of advanced metallic materials research in the last decade. With unique chemical and topological structures at the atomic level, HEAs own a combination of extraordinary properties and show potential in widespread applications. However, their phase stability/transition, which is of great scientific and technical importance for materials, has been mainly explored by varying temperature. Recently, pressure as another fundamental and powerful parameter has been introduced to the experimental study of HEAs. Many interesting reversible/irreversible phase transitions that were not expected or otherwise invisible before have been observed by applying high pressure. These recent findings bring new insight into the stability of HEAs, deepens our understanding of HEAs, and open up new avenues towards developing new HEAs. In this paper, we review recent results in various HEAs obtained using in situ static high-pressure synchrotron radiation x-ray techniques and provide some perspectives for future research.

We report the first high-pressure spectroscopy study on Zn(IO3)2 using synchrotron far-infrared radiation. Spectroscopy was conducted up to pressures of 17 GPa at room temperature. Twenty-five phonons were identified below 600 cm−1 for the initial monoclinic low-pressure polymorph of Zn(IO3)2. The pressure response of the modes with wavenumbers above 150 cm−1 has been characterized, with modes exhibiting non-linear responses and frequency discontinuities that have been proposed to be related to the existence of phase transitions. Analysis of the high-pressure spectra acquired on compression indicates that Zn(IO3)2 undergoes subtle phase transitions around 3 and 8 GPa, followed by a more drastic transition around 13 GPa.

An investigation of the relative stability of the FeSi structure and of some hypothetical polymorphs of FeSi has been made by first-principles pseudopotential calculations. It has been shown that the observed distortion from ideal sevenfold coordination is essential in stabilizing the FeSi structure relative to one of the CsCl type. Application of high pressure to FeSi is predicted to produce a structure having nearly perfect sevenfold coordination. However, it appears that FeSi having a CsCl-type structure will be the thermodynamically most stable phase for pressures greater than 13 GPa. Fitting of the calculated internal energy vs volume for the FeSi structure to a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state led to values, at T = 0 K, for the bulk modulus, K 0, and for its first derivative with respect to pressure, K 0′, of 227 GPa and 3.9, respectively.
