Compressibility and polymorphism of $$alpha$$-As$$_{4}$$S$$_{4}$$ realgar under high pressure

Tuktabiev, M. A.*; Popova, S. V.*; Brazhkin, V. V.*; Lyapin, A. G.*; Katayama, Yoshinori

The energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction technique has been employed to study the structure and equation of state of realgar As$$_{4}$$S$$_{4}$$ under pressures up to 8 GPa at room temperature. We have obtained pressure dependences of the unit cell parameters and volume for the monoclinic structure of realgar. At a pressure of around 7 GPa, realgar showed a polymorph transition to a new molecular phase with a supposedly orthorhombic structure. The phase transition is likely to be associated with the removal of a monoclinic distortion in the unit cell.
