Equation of state and phase transformations study of Nd at ultra-high pressures
TL;DRAbstract
Neodymium was investigated to 96.0 GPa pressure in a diamond-anvil ell at room temperature. The observed structural sequence as a function of pressure is dhcp-fcc- six layered'' structure. In the diffraction pattern hexagonal doublets; notably 102, 006 and 100, 108; appear as single reflection when the c/a ratio is 4.899. However, when cc/a approaches 4.7, the splitting is clear. So far in this study, no monoclinic phase or tetragonal phase were observed. 1 fig., 18 refs.
