The body-centered-cubic （bcc） phase of Ta is found to be stable over the entire pressure range investigated. The bulk moduli and its first pressure derivative of Ta are constrained by fitting the determined pressure-volume data to Vinet form EOS： B0 =192.65±（3.08）GPa and B＇0 =3.58±（0.11）. For the sake of avoiding the affect of non-hydrostatic stress, argon is used as a pressure media. A careful checking of the stress state of the sample is presented simultaneously.展开更多

However, in-situ X-ray diffraction and Raman measurements show clearly the first-order evidences for the scheelite-to-fergusonite displacive transition in SaWO4： a 1.6% volume collapse, coexistence of phases, and hysteresis on release of pressure. Such first-order signatures are found to be the same as the soft modes in BaWO4, which indicates the scheelite-to-fergusonite displacive phase transition hides a deeper physical mechanism. By the refinement of atomic displacement parameters, we further show that the first-order character of this phase transition stems from a coupling of large compression of soft BaOs polyhedrons to the small displacive distortion of rigid WO4 tetrahedrons. Such a coupling will lead to a deeper physical insight in the phase transition of the common scheelite-structured compounds.展开更多

A structural transformation from a cubic phase to a hexagonal phase is observed, which starts at 5.0 GPa and finishes at about 13.1 GPa. The phase transition leads to a volume collapse of 9.0% at 8.6 GPa. The hexagonal phase of Eu2 03 maintains stable up to the highest experiment pressure. After re/ease of pressure, the high-pressure phase transforms to a monoclinic phase. The pressure-volume data are fitted with the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The bulk moduli obtained upon compression from the fitting are 145（2） GPa and 151（6） OPa for the cubic and hexagonal phases, respectively, when their first pressure derivatives are fixed at 4.展开更多

Raman scattering measurement is carried out to investigate the phase behaviour of a pure BaW04-Ⅱ phase （space group P21/n, Z = 8） under hydrostatic pressures up to 14.8 GPa at ambient temperature. In each spectrum recorded for this phase, 27 Raman modes are observed, and all bands shift toward higher wavenumber with a pressure dependence ranging from 3.8 to 0.2 cm- 1/GPa. No pressure-driven phase transition occurs in the entire pressure range in this study. Our results indicate that the previously reported high pressure phase of Ba WO4 at pressure above about 10 GPa and room temperature （Errandonea et al. Phys. Rev. B 73（2006）224103） is not the BaW04-Ⅱ phase.展开更多
