Abstract:NaNiO 2 is a layered material consisting of alternating layers of NaO 6 and Jahn-Teller-active NiO 6 edge-sharing octahedra. At ambient pressure it undergoes a broad phase transition from a monoclinic to rhombohedral structure between ∼465 K and ∼495 K, associated with the loss of long-range orbital ordering. In this work, we present the results of a neutron powder diffraction study on powdered NaNiO 2 as a function of pressure and temperature from ambient pressure to ∼5 GPa between 290 K and 490 K. The 290 K … Show more
