采用高压在位交流阻抗谱技术,研究了ZnS纳米晶在0—29.8 GPa压力范围内的晶粒和晶界性质变化及相关相变机理.从晶粒和晶界的模谱图像中观察到,随着压力的增加,象征晶界影响的圆弧逐渐增加,而代表晶粒作用的圆弧逐渐减弱.此外,晶粒电阻和晶界电阻随压力的升高呈现不同的变化速率,并在11和15 GPa处出现了不连续变化点,分别对应着由纤锌矿到闪锌矿到岩盐相结构转变的压力点.进一步通过分析相变过程中晶界弛豫频率随压力的线性变化关系,研究了ZnS由纤锌矿到闪锌矿到岩盐相的相变机理.     

CaF2纳米晶粒结构相变行为的尺寸依赖性（英文）

利用原位高压同步辐射X射线衍射方法,对尺寸为11 nm的CaF₂纳米晶粒进行高压结构相变和压缩特性研究。当压力为12 GPa时,观察到由萤石结构向α-PbCl₂结构转变的一次相变,该相变压力点远高于体材料,但略低于粒径更小的CaF₂纳米晶体。相比体材料,纳米尺寸的CaF₂样品的体弹模量更大,说明其更难被压缩。当压力释放至常压时,11 nm的CaF₂纳米晶粒的α-PbCl₂型亚稳相结构被保留下来,相变不可逆。分析了影响11 nm CaF₂纳米晶粒独特高压行为的原因,判定尺寸效应为主要因素,该尺寸下较高的表面能导致结构稳定性增强和体积模量增加。

Compression behavior of nanocrystalline anatase TiO2

We present a synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of pressure-induced changes in nanocrystalline anatase (with a crystallite size of 30-40 nm) to 35 GPa. The nanoanatase was observed to a pressure above 20 GPa. Direct transformation to the baddeleyite-TiO₂ polymorph was seen at 18 GPa. A fit of the pressure versus volume data to a Birch-Murnaghan equation yielded the following parameters: zero-pressure volume, V₀=136.15 Å³, bulk modulus, K_T=243(3) GPa, and the pressure derivative of bulk modulus, K′=4 (fixed). The bulk modulus value obtained for the nanocrystalline anatase is about 35% larger than that of the macrocrystalline counterpart.

Elastic properties of nanocrystalline forsterite under high pressure and high temperature

A simple theoretical model is developed to study the pressure–volume–temperature relationship and applied for nanocrystalline forsterite in the temperature range 300–1573 K and pressure range 0–9.6 GPa. The results obtained with the present model are in quite close agreement to the experimental values. The model is therefore extended to study the variation of bulk modulus and the coefficient of volume thermal expansion under high pressure and high temperature. The present study also reveals that the quasi-harmonic approximation, i.e., the product of bulk modulus and the coefficient of volume thermal expansion as constant, is valid at least up to the temperature 1573 K and pressure 9.6 GPa in case of nanocrystalline forsterite.     

Unexpected high stiffness of Ag and Au nanoparticles

We studied the compressibility of silver (10 nm) and gold (30 nm) nanoparticles, n-Ag and n-Au, suspended in a methanol-ethanol mixture by x-ray diffraction (XRD) with synchrotron radiation at pressures up to 30 GPa. Unexpectedly for that size, the nanoparticles show a significantly higher stiffness than the corresponding bulk materials. The bulk modulus of n-Au, K(0)=290(8) GPa, shows an increase of ca. 60% and is in the order of W or Ir. The structural characterization of both kinds of nanoparticles by XRD and high-resolution electron microscopy identified polysynthetic domain twinning and lamellar defects as the main origin for the strong decrease in compressibility.     

Equation of state of LiCoO_2 under 30 GPa pressure

LiCoO_2 is one of the most important cathode materials for high energy density lithium ion batteries. The compressed behavior of LiCoO_2 under high pressure has been investigated using synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction. It is found that LiCoO_2 maintains hexagonal symmetry up to the maximum pressure of 30.1 GPa without phase transition. The elastic modulus at ambient pressure is 159.5(2.2) GPa and its first derivative is 3.92(0.23). In addition, the high-pressure compression behavior of LiCoO_2 has been studied by first principles calculations. The derived bulk modulus of LiCoO_2 is 141.6 GPa.     

高压下碳纳米管的X射线衍射研究

 用同步辐射原位高压能散X射线衍射技术,对碳纳米管进行了结构和物性的研究,压力达50.7 GPa。在室温常压下,碳纳米管的结构和石墨的hcp结构相似,其(002)衍射线的面间距为d₀₀₂=0.340 4 nm,(100)衍射线的面间距为d₁₀₀=0.211 6 nm。从高压X射线衍射实验看到,当压力升到8 GPa以上时,(002)线变宽变弱,碳纳米管部分非晶化。而当压力从10 GPa或20 GPa卸压至零时,(002)线部分恢复。但当压力升高至最高压力50.7 GPa时,碳纳米管完全非晶化,而且这个非晶化相变是不可逆的。用Birch-Murnaghan方程拟合实验数据,得到体弹模量为K₀=(54.3±3.2)GPa（当K′₀=4.0时）。     

Semiconductor–metal transition in GaAs nanowires under high pressure

We investigate the structural phase transitions and electronic properties of GaAs nanowires under high pressure by using synchrotron x-ray diffraction and infrared reflectance spectroscopy methods up to 26.2 GPa at room temperature.The zinc-blende to orthorhombic phase transition was observed at around 20.0 GPa.In the same pressure range, pressureinduced metallization of GaAs nanowires was confirmed by infrared reflectance spectra.The metallization originates from the zinc-blende to orthorhombic phase transition.Decompression results demonstrated that the phase transition from zincblende to orthorhombic and the pressure-induced metallization are reversible.Compared to bulk materials, GaAs nanowires show larger bulk modulus and enhanced transition pressure due to the size effects and high surface energy.     

Volume and structural study of Fe64Mn36 anti-ferromagnetic Invar alloy under high pressure

We have investigated the pressure variation of the volume and structure of an FCC Fe₆₄Mn₃₆ anti-ferromagnetic Invar alloy. The inclination of the pressure-volume (P-V) curve of the FCC structure becomes discontinuous at a pressure of 4 GPa. According to the bulk modulus at zero pressure estimated by the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, the pressure between 4 and 10 GPa is 33 GPa larger than that at a pressure below 4 GPa. Considering previous experiments on magnetism at high pressure the Neel temperature at 4 GPa almost decreases to room temperature. These results suggest that the increase in the bulk modulus by 33 GPa can be attributed to the pressure-induced magnetic phase transition from anti-ferromagnetism to paramagnetism. Volume at zero pressure was estimated using the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The volume of FCC structure in the anti-ferromagnetic state was 1.17% larger than the volume in the paramagnetic state, namely, the spontaneous magnetostriction was 1.17%. Pressure-induced structural transition from FCC to HCP occurs with an increase in the pressure, especially at up to 5 GPa. The value of c/a is 1.62; this value almost corresponds to that of an ideal HCP structure. The bulk modulus of the HCP structure estimated by the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state is larger than that of the FCC structure, and the volume/atom ratio is smaller than that of the FCC structure.
