The high-pressure behavior of wardite, NaAl3(PO4)2(OH)4·2H2O (a = 7.0673(2) Å, c = 19.193(9) Å, Sp. Gr. P41212), has been investigated by in-situ single-crystal synchrotron diffraction experiments up to 9 GPa, using a diamond anvil cell under quasi-hydrostatic conditions. This phosphate does not experience any pressure-induced phase transition, or anomalous compressional behavior, within the pressure-range investigated: its compressional behavior is fully elastic and all the deformation mechanisms, at the atomic scale, are reversible upon decompression. A second-order Birch–Murnaghan Equation of State was fitted to the experimental data, weighted by their uncertainty in pressure (P) and volume (V), with the following refined parameters: V0 = 957.8(2) Å3 and KV0 = −V0(∂P/∂V)P0,T0 = 85.8(4) GPa (βV0 = 1/KV0 = 0.01166(5) GPa−1). Axial bulk moduli were also calculated, with: K0(a) = 98(3) GPa (β0(a) = 0.0034(1) GPa−1) and K0(c) = 64(1) GPa (β0(c) = 0.0052(1) GPa−1). The anisotropic compressional scheme is: K0(a):K0(c) = 1.53:1. A series of structure refinements were performed on the basis of the intensity data collected in compression and decompression. The mechanisms at the atomic scale, responsible for the structure anisotropy of wardite, are discussed.

In-situ high-pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on CuBa 2- Ca 3 Cu 4 O 10 + δ (Cu-1234) have been performed by using diamond anvil cell (DAC) device with synchrotron radiation. The results suggest that the crystal structure of Cu-1234 superconductor is stable under pressures up to 34 GPa at room temperature. According to the Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, the bulk modulus is obtained to be ~ 150 GPa.

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.

This paper describes a methodology for characterizing the orientation and position of grains of an orthorhombic polycrystalline material at high pressure in a diamond anvil cell. The applicability and resolution of the method are validated by simulations and tested on an experimental data set collected on MgSiO3 post-perovskite at 135 GPa. In the simulations, ∼95% of the grains can be indexed successfully with ∼80% of the peaks assigned. The best theoretical average resolutions in grain orientation and position are 0.02° and 1.4 µm, respectively. The indexing of experimental data leads to 159 grains of post-perovskite with 30% of the diffraction peaks assigned with a 0.2–0.4° resolution in grain orientation. The resolution in grain location is not sufficient for in situ analysis of spatial relationships at high pressure. The grain orientations are well resolved and sufficient for following processes such as plastic deformation or phase transformation. The paper also explores the effect of the indexing parameters and of experimental constraints such as rotation range and step on the validity of the results, setting a basis for optimized experiments.

The (C60)n@SWNT (peapod) samples were prepared by vapor diffusion method. We performed the high pressure Raman measurements on the peapod samples by using a Mao-Bell type diamond anvil cell (DAC). In the In situ high pressure experiments, the peapod samples were exposed under UV laser line irradiation. The polymerization of C60 molecules in SWNT cave under both laser irradiation and pressure effects has been studied. The Raman spectra of the released samples from high pressure indicated that C60s form one-dimensional orthorhombic polymer. For the Raman measurements, two different excitation wavelengths were used, 325 nm laser and 830 nm laser.
