Times Cited Count:157 Percentile:96.83(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Structural transformation between two liquid structures of phosphorus that occurred at about 1 GPa and 1000C was investigated by in-situ X-ray radiography. When the low-pressure liquid was compressed, dark and round objects appeared in the radiograph. X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed that these objects were the high-pressure liquid. The drops grew and eventually filled the sample space. Decompressing caused the reverse process. The macroscopic phase separation supported the view that it was a first-order liquid-liquid phase transition. X-ray absorption measurements revealed that the change in density at the transition is about 40 % of the density of the high-pressure liquid.

The transformed volume fractions of diamond as a function of time under various pressure-temperature conditions were obtained and analyzed using the JMAK rate equation. Variations in the nucleation and growth processes during diamond formation as a function of pressure and temperature were clarified.

Experiments were conducted using a 180-ton DIA-type cubic-anvil apparatus installed on the beamline BL14B1 at SPring-8, a third-generation synchrotron radiation facility in Japan. By analyzing the kinetic data using the JMAK rate equation, it was clarified that altering the pressure-temperature conditions drastically changes the nucleation and growth process of diamond.

Times Cited Count:150 Percentile:96.56(Chemistry, Physical)Synthesis of large single crystal GaN (gallium nitride) is a matter of great importance in optoelectronic devices for blue light-emitting diodes and lasers. Although high quality bulk single crystals of GaN suitable for substrates are desired, the standard method of cooling its stoichiometric melt has been unsuccessful for GaN because it decomposes into Ga and N at high temperatures before its melting point. Here we report that applying high pressure completely prevents the decomposition and allows the stoichiometric melt of GaN. At pressures above 6.0 GPa, congruent melting of GaN occurred around 2220
C, and decreasing the temperature allowed the GaN melt to reversibly back-transform into the original crystal structure, which was confirmed by in situ X-ray diffraction. Single crystals of GaN were formed by cooling the melt slowly under high pressures and were recovered at ambient conditions.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:29.99(Physics, Condensed Matter)In order to clarify the mechanism of diamond formation in the Earth's mantle, we studied the diamond formation in the HO-fluid by in situ X-ray observation with the simple C-H
O-MgO system. The results suggest that the solubility of MgO component increases greatly as a function of pressure. However, the generation of fluid is not a sufficient condition for diamond formation, because the carbon quantity in fluid is not increased drastically until just before the diamond formation temperature. This is the first report of the kinetics study in fluid using synchrotron radiation.

Times Cited Count:18 Percentile:54.59(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)An experimental technique to make real-time observations at high pressure and temperature of the diamond forming process in candidate material of mantle fluids as a catalyst has been established for the first time. In situ X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation have been performed upon a mixture of brucite (Mg(OH)) and graphite as starting material. Brucite decomposes into periclase (MgO) and H
O at 3.6 GPa and 1050
C while no periclase is formed after the decomposition of brucite at 6.2 GPa and 1150
C, indicating that the solubility of the MgO component in H
O greatly increases with increasing pressure. The conversion of graphite to diamond in aqueous fluid has been observed at 7.7 GPa and 1835
C. Time-dependent X-ray diffraction profiles for this transformation have been successfully obtained.
