The enthalpy of transformation to ice Ic of ice II, IX, V, VI, and VIII that have been recovered at 77 K and ambient pressure, and of the transformation of ice Ic to Ih, has been measured in a heat-flow calorimeter. The enthalpy of transformation of ice Ic to Ih depends on the high-pressure phase used to make the ice Ic. The thermodynamics of the transformation of ice IX, which was made by cooling ice III at 0.3–0.7 K s−1, to ice III shows that the ice IX was fully orientationally ordered to the precision of the experiments.

The new orthorhombic polymorph β-HgB4O7 has been synthesized under high-pressure and hightemperature conditions in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at 7.5 GPa and 600 °C. β-HgB4O7 is isotypic to the known ambient pressure phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and the high-pressure phase β-CaB4O7 crystallizing with two formula units in the space group Pmn21 with lattice parameters a = 1065.6(2), b = 438.10(9), and c = 418.72(8) pm. The relation of the crystal structure of the high-pressure phase β-HgB4O7 to the normal pressure phase α-HgB4O7 as well as the relation to the isotypic phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and β-CaB4O7 are discussed.

ab-initio calculations using fully relativistic pseudo-potential have been performed to investigate the high pressure phase transition, elastic and electronic properties of lead-chalcogenides including the less known lead polonium. The calculated ground state parameters, for the rock-salt structure show good agreement with the experimental data. The enthalpy calculations show that these materials undergo a first-order phase transition from rock-salt to CsCl structure at 19.4, 15.5, 11.5 and 7.3 GPa for PbS, PbSe, PbTe and PbPo, respectively. Present calculations successfully predicted the location of the band gap at L-point of Brillouin zone as well as the value of the band gap in every case at ambient pressure. It is observed that unlike other lead-chalcogenides, PbPo is semi-metal at ambient pressure. The pressure variation of the energy gap indicates that these materials metalized under high pressures. For this purpose, the electronic structure of these materials has also been computed in parent as well as in high pressure phase.

At 30 kbar and 1000 °C in the Ba/Al-system the compound BaAl2 exists, which remains metastable under standard temperature and pressure after quenching. The new compound crystallizes in the MgCu2-type with a = 870.2(5) pm.
