P213 BN: a novel large-cell boron nitride polymorph

A new boron nitride polymorph, P2₁3 BN (space group: P2₁3), is investigated by first-principles calculations, including its structural properties, stability, elastic properties, anisotropy and electronic properties. It is found that the new boron nitride polymorph P2₁3 BN is mechanically, dynamically and thermodynamically stable. The bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G) and Young's modulus of P2₁3 BN are 91 GPa, 41 GPa and 107 GPa, respectively, all of which are larger than that of Y carbon and TY carbon. By comparing with c-BN, the Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio of P2₁3 BN show tiny anisotropy in the (001), (010), (100) and (111) planes. At the same time, in contrast with most boron nitride polymorphs, P2₁3 BN is a semiconductor material with a smaller band gap of 1.826 eV. The Debye temperature and the anisotropic sound velocities of P2₁3 BN are also investigated in this work.     

In situ study of calcite-III dimorphism using dynamic diamond anvil cell

The phase transitions among the high-pressure polymorphic forms of CaCO₃ (cc-I, cc-II, cc-III, and cc-IIIb) are investigated by dynamic diamond anvil cell (dDAC) and in situ Raman spectroscopy. Experiments are carried out at room temperature and high pressures up to 12.8 GPa with the pressurizing rate varying from 0.006 GPa/s to 0.056 GPa/s. In situ observation shows that with the increase of pressure, calcite transforms from cc-I to cc-II at ～ 1.5 GPa and from cc-II to cc-III at ～ 2.5 GPa, and transitions are independent of the pressurizing rate. Further, as the pressure continues to increase, the cc-IIIb begins to appear and coexists with cc-III within a pressure range that is inversely proportional to the pressurizing rate. At the pressurizing rates of 0.006, 0.012, 0.021, and 0.056 GPa/s, the coexistence pressure ranges of cc-III and cc-IIIb are 2.8 GPa-9.8 GPa, 3.1 GPa-6.9 GPa, 2.7 GPa-6.0 GPa, and 2.8 GPa-4.5 GPa, respectively. The dependence of the coexistence on the pressurizing rate may result from the influence of pressurizing rate on the activation process of transition by reducing the energy barrier. The higher the pressurizing rate, the lower the energy barrier is, and the easier it is to pull the system out of the coexistence state. The results of this in situ study provide new insights into the understanding of the phase transition of calcite.

Structural,elastic, and vibrational properties of phase H:A first-principles simulation

Phase H(MgSiO_4H_2), one of the dense hydrous magnesium silicates(DHMSs), is supposed to be vital to transporting water into the lower mantle. Here the crystal structure, elasticity and Raman vibrational properties of the two possible structures of phase H with Pm and P2/m symmetry under high pressures are evaluated by first-principles simulations. The cell parameters, elastic and Raman vibrational properties of the Pm symmetry become the same as the P2/m symmetry at～ 30 GPa. The symmetrization of hydrogen bonds of the Pm symmetry at ～ 30 GPa results in this structural transformation from Pm to P2/m. Seismic wave velocities of phase H are calculated in a range from 0 GPa to 100 GPa and the results testify the existence and stability of phase H in the lower mantle. The azimuthal anisotropies for phase H are A_(P0)= 14.7%,A_(S0)= 21.2%(P2/m symmetry) and A_(P0)= 16.4%, A_(S0)= 27.1%(Pm symmetry) at 0 GPa, and increase to A_(P30)= 17.9%,A_(S30)= 40.0%(P2/m symmetry) and A_(P30)= 19.2%, A_(S30)= 37.8%(Pm symmetry) at 30 GPa. The maximum V P direction for phase H is [101] and the minimum direction is [110]. The anisotropic results of seismic wave velocities imply that phase H might be a source of seismic anisotropy in the lower mantle. Furthermore, Raman vibrational modes are analyzed to figure out the effect of symmetrization of hydrogen bonds on Raman vibrational pattern and the dependence of Raman spectrum on pressure. Our results may lead to an in-depth understanding of the stability of phase H in the mantle.     

常温高压条件下硬石膏相变的原位拉曼光谱研究

硬石膏（CaSO₄）是地球上分布最广的硫酸盐矿物之一,为研究硬石膏向高压硬石膏转变的压力条件和相变机理、确定硬石膏拉曼光谱压标的适用范围,实验结合水热金刚石压腔和激光拉曼光谱实验技术,研究了常温高压条件下硬石膏的相变过程以及硬石膏和高压硬石膏的拉曼光谱特征。实验结果显示,常温条件下硬石膏向高压硬石膏发生相变的压力在2.3 GPa左右,但是该相变压力在增压和降压过程中存在较大差异,表明硬石膏与高压硬石膏的转变过程存在明显滞后性,证实了该相变过程属于重建型相变。由于重建型相变的控制因素除了温度和压力之外,还包括相变的速率以及矿物结构的亚稳定性等,从而很好地解释了不同实验者获得的硬石膏与高压硬石膏的相变压力之间存在的巨大差异。与硬石膏相比,高压硬石膏的拉曼光谱特征表现为SO₄对称伸缩振动（ν₁）从1 128.28 cm-1突然下降至1 024.39 cm-1,同时对称弯曲振动（ν₂）分裂为441,459和494 cm-1三个峰,反对称伸缩振动（ν₃）分裂为1 136,1 148,1 158和1 173 cm-1四个峰,反对称弯曲振动（ν₄）也分裂为598,616,646和671 cm-1四个峰,可以作为判定硬石膏进入高压相态的有效标志。与硬石膏相比,高压硬石膏SO₄振动产生的拉曼峰数量更多、强度更低,表明影响SO₄振动的原子更多、分布更加复杂,这与高压硬石膏晶体结构（独居石结构,单斜晶系）的对称性比硬石膏（斜方晶系）更低相吻合。在硬石膏结构稳定的压力范围内（常压至2.3 GPa）,硬石膏SO₄拉曼振动中除了ν_2,416的振动频率变化不显著以外,其余振动均随着压力的升高以稳定的速率向高波数方向移动,同时谱峰的强度、形态和半高宽没有明显改变,从而保证了不同压力下硬石膏的拉曼峰具有一致的拟合误差和压力标定精度。同时,还通过方解石ν_{1,1 085}拉曼峰随压力的变化速率、方解石向CaCO₃-Ⅱ以及CaCO₃-Ⅱ向CaCO₃-Ⅲ的相变压力对硬石膏压力标定结果进行检验,确定了硬石膏压标的可靠性。     

First-principles calculations of structure and elasticity of hydrous fayalite under high pressure

The structures,elasticities,sound velocities,and electronic properties of anhydrous and hydrous fayalite(Fe_2SiO_4and Fe_(1.75)H_(0.5)SiO_4)under high pressure have been investigated by means of the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation(GGA)with the on-site Coulomb energy being taken into account(GGA+U).The optimized results show that H atoms prefer to substitute Fe atoms in the Fe1 site.Compared with the anhydrous fayalite Fe_2SiO_4,the mass density,elastic moduli,and sound velocities of Fe_(1.75)H_(0.5)SiO_4 slightly decrease.According to our data,adding 2.3 wt%water into fayalite leads to reductions of compressional and shear wave velocities(VPand VS)by3.4%–7.5%and 0.3%–3.4%at pressures from 0 GPa to 25 GPa,respectively,which are basically in agreement with the2%–5%reductions of sound velocity obtained by the experimental measurement in the low velocity zones(LVZ).Based on the electronic structure,the valence and conduction bands are slightly broader for hydrous fayalite.However,hydrous fayalite keeps the insulation characteristics under the pressures up to 30 GPa,which indicates that hydration has little effect on its electronic structure.     

镁对方解石相变压力和拉曼光谱影响的实验研究

为研究镁对方解石在高压条件下的相变行为和拉曼振动光谱的影响,探索碳酸盐在地球深部的存在形式和物理化学性质,结合金刚石压腔和激光拉曼光谱,对具有不同镁含量的方解石开展高压实验研究。实验选取天然无色透明冰洲石、淡黄色半透明方解石脉和白色大理石作为研究对象,利用ICP-AES测定冰洲石和方解石脉的成分为CaCO₃;大理石中Mg/(Mg+Ca)摩尔比为0.03,其成分可简化为(Mg_0.03Ca_0.97)CO₃。每种方解石样品挑选两粒大小约为50~100×50×20 μm的颗粒放入金刚石压腔,并在不同压力下进行相变过程观察和激光拉曼光谱测量。实验结果显示,常压下冰洲石和方解石脉样品的T₁,T₂,ν₄和ν₁拉曼振动频率分别为156.82,283.55,713.86和1 088.19 cm-1,大理石样品的拉曼振动频率为158.15,284.76,715.07和1 089.20 cm-1,表明方解石中含有3 mol%的MgCO₃时会造成方解石的拉曼振动频率整体升高1 cm-1以上。但是该变化幅度在不同压力下没有显著差别,表明镁对方解石的拉曼振动频率随压力的变化速率(∂ν/∂p)没有明显影响。冰洲石和方解石脉样品在1.5 GPa压力附近转变为方解石-Ⅱ,并在2.0 GPa进一步变为方解石-Ⅲ或Ⅲb;相比之下含有3 mol%的MgCO₃的大理石则是在2.4和3.7 GPa时才转变为方解石-Ⅱ和方解石-Ⅲ。假设镁对方解石相变压力的影响是线性的,即方解石向方解石-Ⅱ和方解石-Ⅲ/Ⅲb的相变压力随MgCO₃含量的增加以0.30和0.57 GPa·mol%-1的速率升高,当MgCO₃含量达到50 mol%时,方解石向方解石-Ⅱ和方解石-Ⅲ/Ⅲb的相变压力将分别为16.5和30.5 GPa,这与白云石向白云石-Ⅱ和白云石-Ⅲ的相变压力吻合。结合前人关于方解石中MnCO₃含量对矿物相变压力和拉曼光谱影响的研究结果,发现当方解石中部分Ca2+被具有不同半径和质量的离子(如Mg2+,Mn2+等)替代以后,阳离子与CO2-₃之间以及CO2-₃内部C-O化学键长度和强度都会发生改变,从而引起矿物结构稳定性以及拉曼振动频率的明显变化;并且两种阳离子之间半径差别越大,该影响效果越明显。因此,在研究高温高压条件下方解石的相变行为和拉曼光谱时,矿物中Mg和Mn等杂质元素对矿物结构稳定性和拉曼振动频率的影响是必须考虑的关键因素之一。     

EPR evidence of local lattice mode in K3H(SO4)2 and Rb3H(SO4)2 fast-proton conductors

The observation of an anomalous temperature dependence of Mn²⁺ EPR spectra linewidth and nonaxial crystal-field parameter in K₃H(SO₄)₂ and Rb₃H(SO₄)₂ allows one to suggest the presence of “local mode” predicted by Yamada (Ferroelectrics 170 (1995) 23). The activation energy for this kind of excitation was found and equals 11.3 (0.5) and 7.4 (0.3) meV for Mn²⁺ doped K₃H(SO₄)₂ and Rb₃H(SO₄)₂, respectively.     

点缺陷浓度对非化学计量比L12型结构的A13Sc弹性性能的影响

采用密度泛函理论与Wagner-Schottky热力学模型计算了金属间化合物L1₂-A1₃Sc中点缺陷浓度与温度、成分间的关系. 结果表明: 在考察的温度区间(T=300-1200 K), 理想化学计量比L1₂-A1₃Sc中的点缺陷主要为Al空位和Sc空位, 且缺陷浓度较低(在1200 K时仅约为10^-6). 当L1₂-A1₃Sc偏离化学计量比成分时, 富Al成分端的点缺陷主要为Al反位与Sc空位, 且两种缺陷的浓度相当; 富Sc成分端的点缺陷则主要为Sc反位. 利用超胞模型进一步计算了含点缺陷L1₂-A1₃Sc晶体的弹性常数, 并计算预测了点缺陷形式和浓度对其弹性性能的影响. 结果表明: 在理想化学计量比成分附近, 点缺陷的引入均会降低非化学计量比L1₂-Al₃Sc晶体的杨氏、剪切和体积弹性模量, 增加非化学计量比L1₂-Al₃Sc弹性性能的各向异性, 但是对其脆-韧性的影响不大.     

Anomalous behavior and phase transformation of α-GaOOH nanocrystals under static compression

The structural compression mechanism and compressibility of gallium oxyhydroxide, α-GaOOH, are investigated by in situ synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction at pressures up to 31.0 GPa by using the diamond anvil cell technique. Theα-GaOOH sustains its orthorhombic structure when the pressure is lower than 23.8 GPa. The compression is anisotropic under hydrostatic conditions, with the a-axis being most compressible. The compression proceeds mainly by shrinkage of the void channels formed by the coordination GaO_3(OH)_3 octahedra of the crystal structure. Anomaly is found in the compression behavior to occur at 14.6GPa, which is concomitant with the equatorial distortion of the GaO_3(OH)_3 octahedra. A kink occurs at 14.6 GPa in the plot of finite strain f versus normalized stress F, indicating the change in the bulk compression behavior. The fittings of a second order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state to the P–V data in different pressure ranges result in the bulk moduli B_0= 199(1) GPa for P 14.6 GPa and B_0= 167(2) GPa for P 14.6 GPa. As the pressure is increased to about 25.8 GPa, a first-order phase transformation takes place, which is evidenced by the abrupt decrease in the unit cell volume and b and c lattice parameters.

Second harmonic stimulated Raman scattering of laser radiation in aplasma

A high-power linearly polarized laser propagating through a plasma produces oscillatory electron velocity at the second harmonic due to-the ν&oarr;×B&oarr; force, This velocity couples a Langmuir wave (ω, k&oarr;) and an electromagnetic wave (ω₁, k&oarr;₁), where ω₁=ω-2ω₀ , k-2k&oarr;₀ and ω₀, k&oarr;₀ are frequency and wavenumber of the laser pump, causing second harmonic Raman scattering. The growth rate is maximum for side scattering. This process can occur above the quarter critical density, unlike the first harmonic stimulated Raman scattering which occurs below the quarter critical density     

Structural,Elastic, and Electronic Properties of a New Phase of Carbon

Based on density function theory with the ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme in the frame of the local density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation, the structural, elastic, and electronic properties of carbon with P222₁ phase have been systematically studied in this paper. The calculated results show that the P222₁ phase of carbon is mechanically stable and dynamically stable at ambient pressure. The anisotropy studies of Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear anisotropic factor, the percentage of elastic anisotropy for bulk modulus, the percentage of elastic anisotropy for shear modulus and the universal anisotropic index show that P222₁ phase of carbon exhibits anisotropy. In addition, P222₁ phase is an indirect semiconductor with bandgap of 3.423 eV. But, the band gap of P222₁ phase for carbon increase with increasing pressure.     

Infrared study of the reactivity of CO with K2 and K3 molecules isolated in solid argon

Cocondensation of K atoms and CO molecules with an excess of argon onto a cold substrate (10 K) leads to the formation of strongly perturbed CO complexes from ground state partners only when a large proportion of K clusters is present. It is established that ground state, isolated K atoms do not react with carbon monoxide as do small potassium clusters. K₂CO, K₃CO and K₂(CO)₂ species are identified by CO stretching motions and are unambiguously characterized using systematic concentration and isotopic studies (¹²C, ¹³C and ¹⁸O) as well as triple doping K/CO/O₂/Ar experiments. K₂(CO)₂ is a very labile species which seems likely to have a C_2v doubly bridged structure. It rearranges into the well known acetylene diolate K … O-CC-O … K species upon exposure to infrared light (0.3–0.45 eV).     

Finite amplitude waves in ion-beam plasma systems

Several types of solitary waves can exist in an ion-beam plasma system. Their velocity is determined as a function of the beam velocity and the wave amplitude θ₀. The region of existence is limited for θ₀ → 0 by the linear modes, and for finite θ₀ by the trapping of the beam or background ions.     

Synthesis of ternary compound in H-S-Se system at high pressures

The chemical reaction products of elemental sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and molecular hydrogen (H₂) at high pressures and room temperature are probed by Raman spectroscopy. Two known compounds H₂S and H₂Se can be synthesized after laser heating at pressures lower than 1 GPa. Under further compression at room temperature, an H₂S-H₂Se and an H₂S-H₂Se-H₂ van der Waals compounds are synthesized at 4 GPa and 6 GPa, respectively. The later is of guest-host structure and can be identified as (H₂S)_x(H₂Se)_(2-x)H₂. It can be maintained up to 37 GPa at least, and the stability of its H₂Se molecules is extended:the H-Se stretching mode can be detected at least to 36 GPa but disappears at 22 GPa in (H₂Se)₂H₂. The pressure dependence of S-H and Se-H stretching modes of this ternary compound is in line with that of (H₂S)₂H₂ and (H₂Se)₂H₂, respectively. However, its hydrogen subsystem only shows the relevance to (H₂S)₂H₂, indicating that this ternary compound can be viewed as H₂Se-replaced partial H₂S of (H₂S)₂H₂.     

Pressure-induced phase transition of B-type Y_2O_3

The synthesized monoclinic(B-type) phase of Y_2O_3 has been investigated by in situ angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell up to 44 GPa at room temperature. A phase transition occurs from monoclinic(B-type) to hexagonal(A-type) phase at 23.5 GPa and these two phases coexist even at the highest pressure. Parameters of isothermal equation of state are V_0= 69.0(1) ~3, K_0= 159(3) GPa, K_0= 4(fixed) for the B-type phase and V_0= 67.8(2) ~3, K_0= 156(3) GPa,K'_0= 4(fixed) for the A-type phase. The structural anisotropy increases with increasing pressure for both phases.
