How hydrothermal synthesis improves the synthesis of (Zr,Ce)SiO₄ solid solutions

Abstract

Although ZrSiO4 is the most well-known compound in the zircon-structured family (space group I41/amd), the experimental conditions for preparing pure and well-crystallized phases which are doped with tetravalent element via...

Phonon softening induced phase transition of CeSiO4: a density functional theory study

“…26) aligning well with the experimental phase transition pressure observed at around 15 GPa. 25 However, there is less research on CeSiO 4 stetindite, on the theoretical side, 27,28 with only one study present in the literature. 29 To date, there is also only one experimental study of CeSiO 4 under high pressure.…”
