ABSTRACTThe equation of state (EOS) of Li3N has been determined by energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXD) using synchrotron radiation up to 35 GPa at ambient temperature. Both the hexagonal D6h4(P63/mmc) and the hexagonal D6h1(P6/mmm) phases were present at ambient pressure. The D6h1 -structure completely transforms into the D6h4 -structure at modest pressure. The change in Gibb's free energy as a function of pressure for Li3N was calculated using the experimental EOS.

Understanding basic material properties of rare earth element (REE) bearing minerals such as their phase stability and equations of state can assist in understanding how economically viable deposits might form. Bastnäsite is the most commonly mined REE bearing mineral. We synthesized the lanthanum-fluoride end member, bastnäsite-(La) (LaCO3F), and investigated its thermal behavior and decomposition products from 298 K to 1173 K under ambient pressure conditions through thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, evolved gas analysis, and high temperature powder X-ray diffraction. We also investigated the compressibility of bastnäsite-(La) via single crystal X-ray diffraction in diamond anvil cells at an ambient temperature up to 11.3 GPa and from 4.9 GPa to 7.7 GPa up to 673 K. At ambient pressure, bastnäsite-(La) was stable up to 598 K in air, where it decomposed into CO2 and tetragonal γ-LaOF. Above 948 K, cubic α-LaOF is stable. High temperature X-ray diffraction data were used to fit the Fei thermal equation of state and the thermal expansion coefficient α298 for all three materials. Bastnäsite-(La) was fit from 298 K to 723 K with V0 = 439.82 Å3, α298 = 4.32 × 10−5 K−1, a0 = −1.68 × 10−5 K−1, a1 = 8.34 × 10−8 K−1, and a2 = 3.126 K−1. Tetragonal γ-LaOF was fit from 723 K to 948 K with V0 = 96.51 Å3, α298 = 2.95×10−4 K−1, a0 = −2.41×10−5 K−1, a1 = 2.42×10−7 K−1, and a2 = 41.147 K−1. Cubic α-LaOF was fit from 973 K to 1123 K with V0 = 190.71 Å3, α298 = −1.12×10−5 K−1, a0 = 2.36×10−4 K−1, a1 = −1.73 × 10−7 K−1, and a2 = −17.362 K−1. An ambient temperature third order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state was fit with V0 = 439.82 Å3, K0 = 105 GPa, and K’ = 5.58.

We report on high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements on Ni3V2O8 at room-temperature up to 23 GPa. According to this study, the ambient-pressure orthorhombic structure remains stable up to the highest pressure reached in the experiments. We have also obtained the pressure dependence of the unit-cell parameters, which reveals an anisotropic compression behavior. In addition, a room-temperature pressure–volume third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state has been obtained with parameters: V0 = 555.7(2) Å3, K0 = 139(3) GPa, and K0′ = 4.4(3). According to this result, Ni3V2O8 is the least compressible kagome-type vanadate. The changes of the crystal structure under compression have been related to the presence of a chain of edge-sharing NiO6 octahedral units forming kagome staircases interconnected by VO4 rigid tetrahedral units. The reported results are discussed in comparison with high-pressure X-ray diffraction results from isostructural Zn3V2O8 and density-functional theory calculations on several isostructural vanadates.

In this work, the structure stability of hexagonal Bi(PO[Formula: see text](H2O)[Formula: see text] has been investigated by high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements. The results show that the structure is stable within the pressure up to 18.3 GPa. The diffraction data are refined and the lattice constants [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are determined, which is compressed by 6.3(7)% and 3.5(0)% within the experimental pressure, respectively. By fitting the pressure dependence of [Formula: see text] (unit cell volume divided by that at ambient pressure) with the second-order Birch equation of state, the bulk modulus [Formula: see text] is given to be about 87.1(0) GPa.

ReO3has been studied at pressures up to 52 GPa by X-ray powder diffraction. The previously observed cubicIm3¯ high-pressure phase was shown to transform to a monoclinic MnF3-related phase at about 3 GPa. All patterns recorded above 12 GPa could be indexed on rhombohedral cells. The compressibility was observed to decrease abruptly at 38 GPa. It is therefore proposed that the oxygen ions are hexagonally close packed above this pressure, giving rise to two rhombohedral phases labelled I and II. The zero-pressure bulk moduliBoof the observed phases were determined and the rhombohedral phase II was found to have an extremely large value of 617 (10) GPa. It was found that ReO3transforms back to thePm3¯mphase found at ambient pressure.

ABSTRACTThe stability of single-crystalline icosahedral Cd-Yb was investigated using X-ray diffraction methods in the temperature range 20 K ≤ T ≤ 900 K at ambient pressure and from ambient temperature to 873 K at about 9 GPa. Single-crystals remain stable at low temperatures and in the investigated HP-HT-regime. At high temperatures and ambient pressure, the quasicrystal decomposes. The application of mechanical stress at low temperatures yields to the same decomposition, the formation of Cd. A reaction of icosahedral Cd-Yb with traces of oxygen or water causing the decomposition seems reasonable, but a low-temperature instability of this binary quasi-crystal cannot be ruled out totally.

Dislocation densities of dispersion-strengthened copper with aluminum oxide, namely GlidCop were evaluated employing the X-ray line profile analysis using the modified Williamson-Hall and modified Warren-Averbach method. X-ray diffraction profiles for GldCop samples with compressive strains applied at ambient temperature were measured with synchrotron radiation. The dislocation densities of GlidCop with compressive strain ranging from 0 – 2.7 % were on the order of 1.5×1014 – 6.6×1014 m-2.
