NiO的高压结构和等温状态方程研究

 运用金刚石对顶砧（Diamond Anvil Cell,DAC）技术,以液氩作为传压介质,在最高压力为67 GPa的压力范围内对NiO进行了原位的同步辐射X射线衍射研究。在整个实验过程中,并未发现第一类结构相变,也没有发现T.Sasaki等预测的在60 GPa左右轴比c/a随压力的变化率而突然增大的现象,且此压力范围内NiO的结构畸变程度随压力的变化趋势相比以前的研究结果要平缓一些。用三阶的Brich-Murnaghan方程对实验数据进行拟合,得到的体弹模量及其对压力的一阶导数分别为B₀=195(4) GPa和B₀′=5.3(2)。     

Equation of State of Tantalum up to 133GPa

The static equation of state （EOS） of tantalum （Ta） is determined by in situ energy-dispersive synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell （DAC） up to 133GPa. 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.     

准静水压条件下SrF2的X射线衍射

利用同步辐射能量色散X射线衍射技术对SrF₂进行了高压相变实验研究. 实验以Ar作为传压介质, 以获得准静水压条件. 实验用红宝石荧光法标定样品压力, 得到的最高压力为44.2GPa. 在实验压力范围内, SrF₂在11.2GPa时发生了从立方晶系到正交晶系的相变, 通过拟合相变前后的P-V状态 方程, 得到立方SrF₂的体弹模量为70.0(5.0)GPa, 正交SrF₂的体弹模量为198.3(15.2)GPa. 卸压到零压时, SrF₂回到立方相结构.     

Compressibility of Nickel Nanoparticle Chain

We perform the high-pressure energy dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments of nickel nanoparticle chain using a synchrotron source under quasi-hydrostatic compression up to 44.7GPa. There is no phase transition over the pressure range. The bulk modulus Ko, the first pressure derivative of bulk modulus K＇0 and the volume Vo are calculated from the pressure-volume data using the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. A decrease of compressibility is observed, in agreement with the Hall-Perch effect.     

The Phase Transition of Eu2O3 under High Pressures

Pressure-induced phase transition of cubic Eu2 03 is studied by angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction （ADXD） up to 42.3 GPa at room temperature. 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.     

窄带隙KNb1-xFexO3-δ的室温铁磁性

We have investigated the structure, optical and magnetic properties of ferroelectric KNb_1-xFexO_3-δ (X=0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25) synthesized by a traditional solid-state reaction method. According to the X-ray diffraction and the results of Rietveld refinement, all the samples maintain orthorhombic distorted perovskite structures with Amm2 space group without any secondary phase, suggesting the well incorporation of Fe ions into the KNbO₃ matrix. With the increase of Fe concentration, the band gap of each sample is decreased gradually, which is much smaller than the 3.18 eV band gap of pure KNbO₃. Through X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis, the increased density of oxygen vacancy and Fe ions may be responsible for the observed decrease in band gap. Compared with the pure KNbO₃, Fe doped samples exhibit room-temperature weak ferromagnetism. The ferromagnetism in KNb_1-xFexO_3-δ with low-concentration dopants (X=0.01-0.10) can be attributed to the bound magnetic polaron mediated exchange. The enhancement of magnetism for the high-concentration (X=0.10-0.20) doped samples may arise from the further increase of magnetic Fe ions.     

Phase transitions in a hydrogen-rich compound：tetramethylsilane

High-pressure behavior of tetramethylsilane is investigated by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering at pressures up to 30 GPa and room temperature. Our results reveal the analogous phase transitions, though slight hysteresis for the certain phases. A new phase is found to appear at 4.2 GPa due to the disappeared Raman mode. These findings offer the possibility to understand the evolution of the H-H bonding with pressure in such hydrogen-rich compounds.     

Zn2SnO4纳米线高压下的相变研究

 利用金刚石对顶压砧（DAC）对具有反尖晶石结构的透明导体氧化物Zn₂SnO₄（ZTO）纳米线进行了原位高压同步辐射角散X射线衍射（ADXRD）研究。结果发现：在压力为12.9 GPa附近,晶体的对称性降低,并发生晶体结构相变,产生中间过渡相;当压力为32.7 GPa时,发生高压相变,形成高压相。在样品加压前后,纳米线的形貌发生了很大的变化。通过Birch-Murnaghan方程,拟合得到B′₀=4时的体弹模量B₀ =(168.6±9.7) GPa。
