Abstract:
The structural phase transition of iodine was observed at about 210 kbar and at room temperature by the high-pressure x-ray diffraction technique using a diamond-anvil cell and a position-sensitive detector. It was found to occur reversibly in both processes of increasing and decreasing pressure.
