摘要
Phase relations and equation of state （EOS） of natural cinnabar （α-HgS） are investigated by high-pressure and high-temperature synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction. The unambiguous cinnabar-rocksalt structure phase boundaries are determined to be PI （GPa）=15.54- 0.014T（℃） and Pupper（GPa）= 23.84- 0.014T（℃） at 300-623K. With K1 fixed at 4, we obtain K0 = 37（4） GPa, （aK/aT）p= -0.025（2） GPaK-1, and α0 = 3.79（20） × 10-5 K-1 for the cinnabar phase of α-HgS. The （aK/aT）p and α0 of cinnabar phase are obtained for the first time. A nearly isotropic compression of cinnabar phase is observed by linear regressions.
