GdBO and YBO Nanocrystals under Compression
Robin Turnbull, Daniel Errandonea, Juan Ángel Sans +7
High-pressure X-ray diffraction studies on nanocrystals of the pseudo-vaterite-type borates GdBO and YBO are herein reported up to 17.4(2) and 13.4(2) GPa respectively. The…
Structural and lattice-dynamical properties of Tb2O3 under compression: a comparative study with rare-earth and related sesquioxides
Jordi Ibáñez, Juan Ángel Sans, Vanesa Cuenca-Gotor +9
We report a joint experimental and theoretical investigation of the high-pressure structural and vibrational properties of terbium sesquioxide (Tb2O3). Powder x-ray diffraction and…
Orpiment under compression: metavalent bonding at high pressure
V. P. Cuenca-Gotor, J. A. Sans, O. Gomis +9
We report a joint experimental and theoretical study of the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of layered monoclinic arsenic sulfide (alpha-As2S3), aka mineral orpi…
Characterization and decomposition of the natural van der Waals heterostructure SnSb2Te4 under compression
Juan A. Sans, Rosario Vilaplana, E. Lora Da Silva +16
This joint experimental and theoretical study of the structural, vibrational and electrical properties of rhombohedral SnSb2Te4 at high pressure unveils the internal mechanisms of…
