We explore the structures of dry and hydrated (HO and DO) NaSiO melt at 0-6 GPa and 1000-1300 K and glasses recovered from high pressure and temperatures by in-situ neutron and X-ray diffraction. The structures of the melts at 0-10 GPa and 3000 K are also investigated by ab-initio molecular dynamics simulation. In-situ neutron experiments revealed that the D-O distance increases with compression due to the formation of -O-D-O- bridging species, which is reproduced by the molecular dynamics simulations. The pressure-induced -O-D-O- formation reflects a more rigid incorporation of hydrogen, which acts as a mechanism for the experimentally observed higher solubility of water in silicate melts. Together with shrinking modifier domains, this process dominates the compression behavior of hydrous NaSiO melt, whereas the compression of dry NaSiO at 0-10 GPa and 3000 K is governed largely by bending of the Si-O-Si angle. The molecular dynamics simulations on hydrous NaSiO melts further suggest that the sodium ions are scavenged from its network-modifying role via 2(Si-O + Na) Si-(O-Si-O) + 2Na and Si-O + Na + Si-OH Si-(O-H-O-Si) + Na with increasing pressure.

The crystal and magnetic structures of antiferromagnetic Mn deuterides formed by hydrogenating Mn metal at high temperature and high pressure, fcc -MnDx and hcp -MnDx, were investigated by in-situ neutron powder diffraction. Deuterium atoms partially occupied the octahedral interstitial positions of the fcc and hcp metal lattices. The site occupancies increased rapidly with decreasing temperature from 700 to 450 K and remained down to 300 K. Nel temperature of 543(10) K was determined for -MnD. For -MnD, saturation magnetic moment and Nel temperature were determined to be 0.82(1) and 347(3) K, respectively. The Nel temperatures determined for -MnD and -MnD are consistent with those predicted by the respective Slater-Pauling curves proposed in previous studies. The updated Nel temperatures provide insights into the development of more accurate Slater-Pauling curves based on electronic band structure calculations.

Hydridosilicates featuring SiH octahedral moieties represent a rather new class of compounds with potential properties relating to hydrogen storage and hydride ion conductivity. Here, we report on the new representative BaSiH obtained from reacting the Zintl phase hydride BaSiH with H fluid at pressures above 4 GPa and subsequent decompression to ambient pressure. It consists of complex SiH ions, which are octahedrally coordinated by Ba counterions. The arrangement of Ba and Si atoms deviates only slightly from an ideal fcc NaCl structure. IR and Raman spectroscopy showed SiH bending and stretching modes in the ranges 800-1200 and 1400-1800 cm, respectively. BaSiH is thermally stable up to 95C above which decomposition into BaH and Si takes place. DFT calculations indicated a direct band gap of 2.5 eV. The discovery of BaSiH consolidates the compound class of hydridosilicates, accessible from hydrogenations of silicides at gigapascal pressures (10 GPa). The structural properties of BaSiH suggest that it presents an intermediate (or precursor) for further hydrogenation at considerably higher pressures to the predicted superconducting polyhydride BaSiH.
