We have determined a precise P-T phase diagram of AgI by high-temperature high-pressure synchrotron experiments. X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption measurements were performed using a multi-anvil high pressure apparatus at SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. In a disordered rock-salt phase, Ag ions occupy both octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The occupancy of tetrahedral site has a maximum value, 20%, at 2 GPa. A change from rock-salt structure to disordered rock-salt structure is gradual in the X-ray diffraction measurements while it is clearly observed in the X-ray absorption measurements. Analysis of EXAFS Debye-Waller factor is useful because the force constant can be decided directly even at high pressure and high temperature. Pressure influences greatly the effective potential and anharmonicity decreases with increasing pressure.

Local structures around germanium in liquid germanate have been investigated by means of in situ X-ray absorption measurements up to 9 GPa at 1273 K. Liquid germanate consisting of tetrahedrally coordinated germanium contracts with increasing pressure without significant changes in the local structure up to 2.5 GPa and then shows an abrupt fourfold-to-sixfold coordination change around 3 GPa. The coordination change is completed below 4 GPa where upon a high-density liquid consisting of octahedrally coordinated germanium becomes stable. The GeO octahedron in the high-density liquid is more compressible than that in solids.

Using a multi-anvil high-pressure device and synchrotron radiation, X-ray observations of AgI high pressure and high temperature up to 6.0 GPa and 1000 K have been performed to investigate the phase relations between -AgI, rocksalt-type, disordered rocksalt-type, and liquid phases. The three phases of -AgI, disordered rocksalt-type, and liquid meet in a triple point in the vicinity of 823 K and 1.3 GPa. The melting curve of the disordered rocksalt phase is linear with a positive slope. The transition between rocksalt and the disordered rocksalt phases is a broad and diffuse disordering type within the same structure. The formation of the disordered rocksalt phase has been hence estimated with the variation of a relative intensity ratio of (111) and (200) diffraction from the rocksalt phase. With increasing pressure the rocksalt phase becomes stabel at high temperature. At 6.0 GPa the rocksalt phase directly melts without the transition to the disordered rocksalt phase.

The pressure dependence of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) Debye-Waller factors in AgBr has been investigated using the cumulant expansion method. The Br K-edge EXAFS spectra were measured in the transmission mode under high pressure (9.1GPa) at room temperature using a cubic anvil type apparatus (MAX90) and synchrotron radiation from the Photon Factory, Tsukuba. The effective pair potentials , were evaluated and the potential coefficient at 2.1, 4.2 and 6.1GPa are 1.59(4), 1.75(4) and 1.91(4) eV/, respectively. The energies of the third-order anharmonic potential coefficient maintain nearly constant values with pressure though the third-order cumulant decreases with increasing in pressure.

The anharmonic effective pair potentials for Br-Cu bond in and CuBr under pressure have been investigated by an extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique. The EXAFS spectra near the Br K-edge were measured under high temperature and high pressure using a large-volume uniaxial press and synchrotron radiation from SPring-8. The anharmonic effective pair potential for each phase is influenced by pressure and become steeper with increasing pressure. The potential parameter for -phase at 0.1MPa increases by about 20% at the pressure of 4.8GPa. The stastical distribution of Cu in -CuBr and superionic conduction mechanism have been discussed based on the effective pair potential and distribution of Br-Cu distances.
