The new phase was investigated by the Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction data, showing space group Pbcn （No. 60） symmetry and a = 13.6113（6）A （1A =0.1 nm）, b = 5.5809（1）A, c = 4.8566（3）A, V = 368.93（2）A3 （Z = 4）. High pressure behavior was studied by Raman spectroscopy at room temperature. Under 22.5 GPa, there was no sign of a structural phase transition in the spectra, demonstrating stability of the HPHT phase up to the highest pressure.展开更多

The crystal structure of SmFeO3 remains stable at up to the highest pressure. The different pressure coefficients of the normalized axial compressibility are obtained to be βa = 0.60 × 10-3 GPa-1,βb = 0.79 × 10-3 GPa-1, βc = 1.28 × 10-3 GPa- 1, and the bulk modulus （B0） is determined to be 293（3） GPa by fitting the pressure-volume data using the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. Furthermore, the larger compressibility of the FeO6 octahedra suggests the evolution of the orthorhombic structure towards higher symmetry configuration at high pressures.展开更多
Structural and spectroscopic properties of Sr2ZnTeO6 （SZTO） were investigated by angle-dispersive synchrotron X- ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell up to 31 GPa at room temperature...Structural and spectroscopic properties of Sr2ZnTeO6 （SZTO） were investigated by angle-dispersive synchrotron X- ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell up to 31 GPa at room temperature. Although SZTO remained stable up to the highest pressure, the different pressure coefficients of the normalized axial compressibility were obtained as βab=8.16×10-3 GPa-1 andβc=7.61 x 10-3 GPa-1. The bulk modulus B0 was determined to be 190（1） GPa by fitting the pressure-volume data using the Birch-Mumaghan equation of state. All the observed Raman modes exhibited a broadening effect under high pressure. The vibrational band V1 around 765 cm-1, which is associated with the Te-O stretching mode in the basal plane of the TeO6 octahedron had the largest pressure coefficient, and the Griineisen parameters for all the observed phonon modes were also calculated and presented. These parameters could be used to measure the amount of uniaxial or biaxial strain, providing a fundamental tool for monitoring the magnitude of the shift of phonon frequencies with strains.展开更多

The x-ray diffraction patterns show that SmFe（1-x）AlxO3 remains an orthorhombic structure within the whole doping range, and the unit-cell volume decreases monotonically with the increase of doped A1 concentration. Besides, the octa- hedral tilting distortions of FeO6 are found to be alleviated while the tolerance factor increases. However, the relationship between the lattice parameters and Al concentration is observed to deviate from Vegard＇s rule, and this may be caused by magnetostriction effects. For the doping content values in a range 0 〈 x 〈 0.6, the ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, and paramagnetism are observed to occur continuously. Moreover, the magnetization and the spin reorientation temperature （Tk） decrease monotonically as Al content value increases. With the doping content values being x = 0.8 and 1.0, these compounds only show paramagnetic behavior.展开更多
