High-pressure transition to the post-barite phase in BaCrO4hashemite

Abstract: A recent high-pressure study on barium chromate BaCrO 4 reported a phase transition but the structure of the high-pressure phase structure could not be identified.This high-pressure phase was suggested to have a monoclinic structure different from other high-pressure forms of ABO 4 -type compounds. In this work, we have carried out x-ray diffraction measurements up to 46 GPa using He as quasi-hydrostatic pressure medium and Density-Functional Theory calculations. Our studies allow us identifying the high-press… Show more

“…As the excitation power is decreased, the intensity of the lower energy band remarkably drops, broadens, and shifts to lower energy, whereas the higher energy band nearly vanishes (see Figure ). Because two coexisting crystallographic phases in several inorganic perovskite materials of mixed and pure composition, including MAPbI 3 , have been already observed, we suggest that the measured emission in the low-temperature phase could be explained by supposing a very small relative volume fraction of low-energy sites attributable to small embodiments of individual tetragonal phase crystallites, where photoexcited carriers can be trapped . Therefore, the subgap sites in the tetragonal crystallites can only be partially filled under weak excitation by the few free carriers.…”

“…The pressure-induced phase transition of ABO 4 oxides has been studied extensively for many different crystal structures, such as phase transition from scheelite to fergusonite in molybdates and tungstates, , phase transition from zircon to scheelite in vanadates and chromates. , On the basis of a large number of theoretical works and experiments, a general conclusion was that the radii ratios r A / r O and r B / r O between cation and oxygen increase with pressure, resulting in an increase of cation coordination in the high-pressure modifications. , Most of the zircon structure ABO 4 oxides are known to undergo a phase transition from zircon-type to scheelite-type under pressure. Furthermore, a zircon–monazite–scheelite sequence of stable structure was suggested as a likely pressure-driven route for zircon-type ABO 4 oxides .…”

“…A decade-long effort has been dedicated by several research groups around the world to study the high-pressure (HP) behavior of chromates with formula ACrO 4 . The interest in their HP conduct is many-fold, going from Earth to material sciences. , Several articles have been published reporting structural phase transitions and discussing the influence of compression on the electronic, magnetic, and vibrational properties of these compounds. In particular, barite-type BaCrO 4 has been studied by means of ab initio calculations, Raman spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction up to 50 GPa. A phase transition has been reported near 27 GPa, and the crystal structure of the HP phase determined . Interestingly, the existence of two soft-mode phonons has been found in the HP polymorph indicating that it is unstable at pressures higher than those achieved in the experiments .…”
