Pressure-induced phase transitions in orthovanadates have led to interesting physical phenomena. The observed transitions usually involve large volume collapses and drastic changes in the electronic and vibrational properties of the…
At high pressure, the typical behavior of elements dictated by the periodic table - including oxidation numbers, stoichiometries in compounds, and reactivity, to name but a few - is altered dramatically. As pressure is applied, the…
AVO4 vanadates are materials of technological importance due to their variety of functional properties. They have applications as scintillators, thermophosphors, photocatalysts, cathodoluminescence, and laser-host materials. Studies at…
An overview of the behavior of materials at high pressure is presented, starting from the effects on single atoms driving electronic transitions and changes in periodic trends. A range of high-pressure-induced phenomena in the solid state…
Angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction (ADXRD) and x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements have been performed in the AWO4 tungstates CaWO4 and SrWO4 under high pressure up to approximately 20 GPa. Similar phase transitions…
We have characterized the high-pressure behavior of alpha-SnWO4. The compound has been studied up to 30 GPa using a diamond-anvil cell and synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. We report evidence of two structural phase transitions in the…
Room-temperature Raman scattering was measured in ZnWO4 up to 45 GPa. We report the pressure dependence of all the Raman-active phonons of the low-pressure wolframite phase. As pressure increases new Raman peaks appear at 30.6 GPa due to…
