AbstractWe have studied the pressure-dependence of the interdiffusion rate in amorphous Si/Ge multilayers. Samples were annealed in an externally-heated diamond anvil cell at 693 K at pressures ranging from 0 to 3.1 GPa. Interdiffusion rates were determined by ex situ x-ray diffraction measurements of the decay of the artificial Bragg peaks associated with the multilayer periodicity. Scaling experiments were performed to factor out the effects of concentration and time dependence in the diffusivity. All samples showed a consistent increase in diffusivity with applied pressure, characterized by a negative activation volume ranging from −44±3 to −37±2 percent of the atomic volume of Si for films ranging in average Si composition from 25 to 71 percent, respectively. These results are consistent with a model for diffusion in amorphous Si and Ge based on dangling bond migration.

ABSTRACTWe report initial results of an x-ray diffraction study of the pressure-dependence of the interdiffusion rate in amorphous Si/Ge Multilayers. Anneals were performed in a diamond anvil cell at 700 K for various pressures and durations. Interdiffusion was measured by Monitoring the rate of decay of the artificial Bragg peaks associated with the multilayer periodicity. A consistent increase in diffusivity was seen with pressure, characterized by an activation volume of -25±11 percent of the atomic volume of Si. An atomistic mechanism that Might account for such behavior is discussed.

With the recent improvement of high-pressure technology, in particular the diamond-anvil cell, an ever-increasing number of studies are appearing which relate unit-cell parameters (as measured by X-ray diffraction) to the applied pressure.

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.

The 1 : 1 acetylene–benzene cocrystal, C2H2·C6H6, was synthesized under pressure in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) and its evolution under pressure was studied with single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.
