纳米硫化锌球壳的高压相变研究

 采用同步辐射能量色散X射线衍射（EDEX）技术和金刚石对顶砧高压装置,对纳米硫化锌球壳进行了原位高压X射线衍射实验。最高压力达33.3 GPa。常压下纳米硫化锌球壳为纤锌矿结构和闪锌矿结构共存的混相结构。压力达到11.2 GPa时,纳米硫化锌空心球中的纤锌矿结构全部转变为闪锌矿结构。压力达到16.0 GPa时,发生了由闪锌矿结构向岩盐矿结构的相变,在17.5 GPa和21.0 GPa时分别出现未知峰,33.3 GPa时基本完全转变为岩盐矿结构。两个相变均为可逆相变。     

室温高压下天然锡石状态方程研究

 利用金刚石压腔同步辐射X射线就位衍射技术,在室温、最高压力达13 GPa条件下,对采自云南个旧锡矿的天然锡石做了X衍射测量。结果表明,在实验压力范围内锡石未发生相变,其晶胞参数随压力增大而逐渐减小。与前人合成锡石实验结果相比,本次实验测定的晶胞参数偏大。由Birch状态方程对实验结果p-V进行最小二乘法拟合,得出锡石的K_T(0)＝228 GPa。分析认为,在天然矿物晶体中,Zr对Sn的类质同象置换是晶胞参数偏大的主要原因。     

Pressure-induced phase transition of wulfenite

The in-situ high-pressure structures of wulfenite have been investigated by means of angular dispersive X-ray diffraction with diamond anvil cell and synchrotron radiation. In the pressure up to 22.9 GPa, a pressure-induced scheelite-to-fergusonite transition is observed at about 10.6 GPa. The pressure dependence for the lattice parameters of wulfenite is reported, and the axial compression coefficients Ka₀=－1.36×10^－3 GPa^－1 and Kc₀= －2.78×10^－3 GPa^－1 are given. The room-temperature isothermal bulk modulus is also obtained by fitting the P-V data using the Murnaghan equation of state.     

The Phase Transition of Eu2O3 under High Pressures

Pressure-induced phase transition of cubic Eu2 03 is studied by angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction （ADXD） up to 42.3 GPa at room temperature. A structural transformation from a cubic phase to a hexagonal phase is observed, which starts at 5.0 GPa and finishes at about 13.1 GPa. The phase transition leads to a volume collapse of 9.0% at 8.6 GPa. The hexagonal phase of Eu2 03 maintains stable up to the highest experiment pressure. After re/ease of pressure, the high-pressure phase transforms to a monoclinic phase. The pressure-volume data are fitted with the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The bulk moduli obtained upon compression from the fitting are 145（2） GPa and 151（6） OPa for the cubic and hexagonal phases, respectively, when their first pressure derivatives are fixed at 4.     

高温高压下硬水铝石状态方程研究

 在金刚石压砧装置上,用氧化铝膜作绝热层,借助同步辐射和双面激光加温系统,分析了硬水铝石在高温高压下的结构变化,并分别用理论和实验的方法得出了其结构参数,得到了样品在不同压力温度下的体模量。这对于人们认识和研究地壳结构和地球内部物质的演化具有重要意义。研究发现,在常温和高温时其压缩率有明显不同,在高温高压范围内,其晶格常数和晶胞体积的变化非常接近样品在高压常温下的情况;而在高温低压范围内,情形和常温时有较大差别。在实验过程中并没有发现相变的产生。

高压下ZnSe 纳米带的结构相变及拉曼散射研究

 利用高压原位角散X射线衍射实验研究了ZnSe纳米带的结构稳定性。发现样品在12.6 GPa 附近存在一个从立方闪锌矿型到立方岩盐矿型的结构相变,并且在相变点附近存在较大的体积收缩,相对体积变化率达13%。利用Birch-Murnaghan 状态方程拟合,得到了闪锌矿相的体弹模量约为56 GPa,略低于体材料的体弹模量（约67 GPa）;并得到其立方岩盐矿相的体弹模量约为116 GPa。高压拉曼散射实验结果表明,横光学声子模散射峰在5.5 GPa压力附近发生劈裂,纵光学声子模散射峰在12.8 GPa压力以上逐渐消失。根据角散实验的体弹模量数据,计算得到了闪锌矿相中对应不同声子模式的格林爱森常数。     

Isostructural Phase Transition of TiN under High Pressure

In situ high-pressure energy dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments on polycrystalline powder TiN with NaCltype structure have been conducted with the pressure up to 30.1 GPa by using a diamond anvil cell instrument with synchrotron radiation at room temperature. The experimental results suggest that an isostructural phase transition might exist at about 7 GPa as revealed by the discontinuity of V/Vo with pressure.     

Pressure-Induced Phase Transition in BaTiO3 Nanocrystals

The crystal structure and electric properties of BaTiO3 nanocrystals are studied by in situ high-pressure synchrotron radiation x-ray powder diffraction. The phase transition takes place not only in the samples of BaTiO3 nanocrystals that are tetragonal phase with grain sizes more than 100nm, but also in the samples of BaTiO3 nanocrystals that are cubic phase with grain sizes less than 100nm. The pressures of phase transition are found to increase with decrease of the grain size from about 4 to 10GPa for crystallites ranging from 200 to 10nm in radius. The bulk moduli are calculated according to Birch-Murnaghan state equation before and after the phase transition.
