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

Journal of Physics; Condensed Matter, 21(38), p.385401_1 - 385401_7, 2009/08

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.

Molecular-network-ionic structure transitions in liquid AlCl$$_{3}$$ and ZnCl$$_{2}$$ halogenides under pressure

Liquid AlCl$$_{3}$$ and ZnCl$$_{2}$$ halogenides are studied by ${it in-situ}$ high-pressure high-temperature X-ray diffraction measurements. These halogenides have a quasi-molecular network structure in liquid state at normal pressure. They are intermediate between pure covalent and ionic melts. The present study is indicative of a rapid and strong breakdown of an intermediate range order in a tetrahedral network of melts for the initial pressure range and points to rather sharp transitions in liquids with the formation of a short-range order structure similar to ionic melt structures. Such a two-stage structural transformation under pressure is the general feature for a wide class of simple melts, including most of the pseudo-covalent halogenides.

Using two different high-pressure techniques, we have prepared boron-doped diamonds with atomic concentration of the dopant ranging from 0.04% to 4% (from 7$$times$$10$$^{19}$$ to 7$$times$$10$$^{21}$$ atom/cm$$^{3}$$) and studied the lattice constants and thermal expansion of the diamonds in the temperature range from 90 to 300 K. Both sets of samples demonstrate the same increasing concentration dependence of the lattice parameter with maximum shift of the lattice constant about 0.011${AA}$. We have established an abnormally high thermal expansion of the heavily boron-doped superconducting diamonds with respect to the undoped ones and a nearly linear correlation between lattice constant and critical temperature of the superconducting transition.

Structural studies of phase transitions in crystalline and liquid Halides (ZnCl$$_{2}$$, AlCl$$_{3}$$) under pressure

The results of investigating the phase diagrams of ZnCl$$_{2}$$ and AlCl$$_{3}$$ halides, as well as the structure of the short range order of the corresponding melts under pressures up to 6.5 GPa, by the method of energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction are reported. When a ZnCl$$_{2}$$ crystal is compressed, a phase transition occurs from the $$gamma$$ phase (HgI$$_{2}$$ structure type) to the $$delta$$ phase (distorted CdI$$_{2}$$ structure, WTe$$_{2}$$ type). The structural studies of the liquid state of ZnCl$$_{2}$$ and AlCl$$_{3}$$ indicate that the intermediate-range order decreases rapidly in the tetrahedral network of both melts as the pressure increases to 1.8 and 2.3 GPa for ZnCl$$_{2}$$ and AlCl$$_{3}$$, respectively. With further compression, the transitions in both melts occur with a change in the structure of the short-range order and with an increase in the coordination number. In this case, the transition in AlCl$$_{3}$$ occurs at about 4 GPa and is a sharp first order transition, whereas the transition in ZnCl$$_{2}$$ occurs more smoothly in a pressure range of 2-4 GPa with a maximum intensity near 3 GPa. Thus the AlCl$$_{3}$$ and ZnCl$$_{2}$$ compounds exemplify the existence of two phenomena, gradual decay of intermidiate-range structural correlations and a sharper liquid-liquid coordination transition.

Structural transformations in liquid, crystalline, and glassy B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ under high pressure

We present in situ (X-ray diffraction) and ex situ (quenching) structural studies of crystalline, liquid, and glassy B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ up to 9 GPa and 1700 K, drawing equilibrium and nonequilibrium phase diagrams of B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$, Particularly, we have determined the melting curve, the stability regions for crystalline B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ and B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ II modifications, the regions of transformations, such as densification or crystallization, for both the liquid and glassy states, including the region of sharp first-order-like transition in liquid B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ to a high-density phase near 7 GPa. Quenching experiments also show that the transition to the high-density liquid can occur at much lower pressures in nonstoichiometric melts with an excess of boron. B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ is the first glassformer whose transformations in the disordered state have been comparatively studied for both liquid and glassy phases.
