In this study, the volumetric compression of jadeite (NaAlSi2O6) melt at high pressures was determined by three-dimensional volume imaging using the synchrotron-based X-ray microtomography technique in a rotation-anvil device. Combined with the sample mass, measured using a high-precision analytical balance prior to the high-pressure experiment, the density of jadeite melt was obtained at high pressures and high temperatures up to 4.8 GPa and 1955 K. The density data were fitted to a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, resulting in a best-fit isothermal bulk modulus K T 0 of 10.8 − 5.3 + 1.9 GPa and its pressure derivative K T 0 ′ of 3.4 − 0.4 + 6.6 . Comparison with data for silicate melts of various compositions from the literature shows that alkali-rich, polymerized melts are generally more compressible than alkali-poor, depolymerized ones. The high compressibility of jadeite melt at high pressures implies that polymerized sodium aluminosilicate melts, if generated by low-degree partial melting of mantle peridotite at ~250–400 km depth in the deep upper mantle, are likely denser than surrounding mantle materials, and thus gravitationally stable.

Abstract The thallium triborate HP-TlB3O5 (HP=high-pressure) was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure=high-temperature conditions of 6 GPa and 1400°C. A mixture of thallium carbonate Tl2CO3 and boric acid H3BO3 initially heated at 850°C under ambient-pressure conditions was used as a precursor for the high-pressure experiment. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data revealed that HP-TlB3O5 is isotypic to HP-M′B3O5 (M′ =K, Rb). Furthermore the B-O network is identical to the substitutional variants HP-M″B3O5 [M″ =Cs1-x(H3O)x (x=0.5 - 0.7), NH4]. HP-TlB3O5 crystallizes with eight formula units (Z =8) in the monoclinic space group C2=c (no. 15). The lattice parameters are a=996.3(2), b=884.0(2), c=913.1(2) pm, β =103:3(1)°, and V =782.5(3) Å3. Trigonal-planar BO3 groups, corner-sharing BO4 tetrahedra, and B2O6 groups consisting of two edge-sharing BO4 tetrahedra are present in the structure, forming a three-dimensional network. The thallium ions are located in channels of the boron-oxygen network being tenfold coordinated by oxygen atoms and do not show any lone pair effect at all. IR and Raman spectroscopic investigations were performed on single crystals of the compound.

The high-pressure (HP) modification of CePtSn was prepared under multianvil high-pressure (9.2 GPa) high-temperature (1325 K) conditions from the normal-pressure (NP) modification. Both modifications were investigated by powder and single crystal X-ray data: TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 746.89(9), b = 462.88(4), c = 801.93(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0487, 452 F2 values, 20 variable parameters for NP-CePtSn, and ZrNiAl type, P6̅2m, a = 756.919(5), c = 415.166(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0546, 252 F2 values, 14 variable parameters for HP-CePtSn. Both modifications are built up from platinumcentered trigonal prisms. Together, the platinum and tin atoms form different three-dimensional [PtSn] networks in which the cerium atoms fill channels. The crystal chemistry and chemical bonding of NP- and HP-CePtSn is discussed. Susceptibility measurements of HP-CePtSn indicate Curie-Weiss behavior above 40 K with an experimental magnetic moment of 2.55(1) μB/Ce atom, indicating trivalent cerium. No magnetic ordering could be detected down to 2 K.

The transparent conducting oxide, SnO2, is a promising optoelectronic material with predicted tailorable properties via pressure-mediated band gap opening. While such electronic properties are typically modeled assuming perfect crystallinity, disordering of the O sublattice under pressure is qualitatively known. Here a quantitative approach is thus employed, combining extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy with X-ray diffraction, to probe the extent of Sn—O bond anharmonicities in the high-pressure cubic (Pa\bar{3}) SnO2 – formed as a single phase and annealed by CO2 laser heating to 2648 ± 41 K at 44.5 GPa. This combinational study reveals and quantifies a large degree of disordering in the O sublattice, while the Sn lattice remains ordered. Moreover, this study describes implementation of direct laser heating of non-metallic samples by CO2 laser alongside EXAFS, and the high quality of data which may be achieved at high pressures in a diamond anvil cell when appropriate thermal annealing is applied.

The Fe–C system, which is widely used to grow commercial high-pressure–high-temperature diamond monocrystals, is rather complicated due to the formation of carbides. The carbide Fe3C is a normal run product, but the pressure at which Fe7C3 carbide becomes stable is a subject of discussion. This paper demonstrates the synthesis of Fe7C3 carbide and its detailed study using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, as well as electron probe micro-analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The experiments were performed using a multiple-anvil high-pressure apparatus of `split-sphere' (BARS) type at a pressure of 5.5 GPa and a temperature of 1623 K. Our results show that in the Fe–C system, in addition to diamond, a phase that corresponds to the Fe7C3 carbide was synthesized. This means that both carbides (Fe7C3 and Fe3C) are stable at 5.5 GPa. Two crystal phases are described, Fe14C6 and Fe28C12−x . Fe14C6 is based on the well known rhombic structure of Fe7C3, while Fe28C12−x has a different packing order of Fe6C polyhedrons. The results obtained in this study should be taken into account when synthesizing and growing diamond at high pressures and temperatures in metal–carbon systems with a high iron content, as well as when conducting experimental studies on the synthesis of diamond directly from carbide.
