Abstract:The experimental
identification of structural transitions in layered
black phosphorus (BP) under mechanical stress is essential to extend
its application in microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices under harsh
conditions. High-pressure Raman spectroscopic analysis of BP flakes
suggests a transition pressure at ∼4.2 GPa, where the BP’s
crystal structure progressively transforms from an orthorhombic to
a rhombohedral symmetry (blue phosphorus, bP). The phase transition
has been identified by observing a transition … Show more

“…Kundu et al. [ 25 ] also report a similar temporary downshift for few‐layer BP under high‐pressure. They further claim that this observation as evidence for a partial phase transition from black to blue phosphorous.…”

“…However, it has been found by several previous high pressure studies on BP [ 25,23 ] that d ω /d P values for each vibrational mode depends heavily on the number of layers in the sample as well as the presence of guest species introduced by intercalation. A summary of d ω /d P values for differently layered BP samples are compared in Table 1 .…”

Structural evolution of Li‐intercalated and pristine black phosphorous (BP) under high‐pressure (up to ≈8 GPa) is studied using in situ Raman spectroscopy. Even though both materials show a monotonic blueshift of the out‐of‐plane vibrational mode (A1g) with pressure, Li‐intercalated BP do not show a blueshift until a threshold pressure (2.4 GPa) is reached to compensate the structural expansion caused by intercalation. However, the in‐plane modes (B2g and A2g) in each sample respond differently. In the mid‐pressure region, they both show redshifts which in Li‐intercalated BP is also followed by abrupt blueshifts. Such behavior indicates pressure‐induced structural reorganizations inside the material. Computational modeling reveals the existence of a process of P─P bond breaking and reforming in the system due to the redistribution of intercalated Li atoms under pressure. This work shows the significance of combined effect of pressure and intercalation on structural changes in the search for new phases of BP and other two‐dimensional (2D) materials.
“…[109] Copyright 2014, American Physical Society Typically, the BP nanosheets were received from bulk BP materials via a series of physical or chemical technical means, while bulk BP materials were usually fabricated by WP or RP as the original source via phase-transformation reaction procedures. [113] In 1914, Bridgeman first obtained bulk BP materials via WP phase-transformation reaction under high pressure (up to 1.2 GPa) and high temperature (up to 200 °C). [114] Subsequently, after constant exploration and discovery, the polycrystalline BP crystals were prepared by Keyes and coauthors in 1950s by adopting higher pressure conditions (1.3 GPa).…”
