Pressure-induced changes in the electron density distribution in α-Ge near the α-β transition

Journal Article Li, Rui; Liu, Jing; Bai, Ligang; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Electron density distributions in α-Ge have been determined under high pressure using maximum entropy method with structure factors obtained from single crystal synchrotron x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell. The results show that the sp{sup 3} bonding is enhanced with increasing pressure up to 7.7(1) GPa. At higher pressures but below the α-β transition pressure of 11.0(1) GPa, the sp{sup 3}-like electron distribution progressively weakens with a concomitant increase of d-orbitals hybridization. The participation of d-orbitals in the electronic structure is supported by Ge Kβ{sub 2} (4p-1s) x-ray emission spectroscopy measurements showing the reduction of 4s character in themore »« less

High pressure Laue diffraction and its application to study microstructural changes during the α → β phase transition in Si

Journal Article Popov, D.; Park, C.; Kenney-Benson, C.; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Here, an approach using polychromatic x-ray Laue diffraction is described for studying pressure induced microstructural changes of materials under pressure. The advantages of this approach with respect to application of monochromatic x-ray diffraction and other techniques are discussed. Experiments to demonstrate the applications of the method have been performed on the α → β phase transition in Si at high pressures using a diamond anvil cell. We present the characterization of microstructures across the α–β phase transition, such as morphology of both the parent and product phases, relative orientation of single-crystals, and deviatoric strains. Subtle inhomogeneous strain of the single-crystalmore »« less

Electron Density Changes across the Pressure-Induced Iron Spin Transition

Journal Article Diamond, Matthew; Shen, Guoyin; Popov, Dmitry; ... - Physical Review Letters

High-pressure single-crystal x-ray diffraction is used to experimentally map the electron-density distribution changes in (Fe,Mg)O as ferrous iron undergoes a pressure-induced transition from high- to low-spin states. As the bulk density and elasticity of magnesiowustite—one of the dominant mineral phases of Earth’s mantle—are affected by this electronic transition, our results have applications to geophysics as well as to validating first-principles calculations. Furthermore, the observed changes in diffraction intensities indicate a spin-transition-induced change in orbital occupancies of the Fe ion in general accord with crystal-field theory, illustrating the use of electron density measurements for characterizing high-pressure d-block chemistry and motivating furthermore »« less

Experimental observations of large changes in electron density distributions in $β - Ge$

Journal Article Li, Rui; Liu, Jing; Popov, Dmitry; ... - Physical Review B

We report the electron density distributions in β-Ge have been experimentally determined at in situ high-pressure conditions using synchrotron diffraction techniques in a diamond anvil cell. Upon decompression, the electron density along the $$c$$ axis in tetragonal β-Ge displays a sudden drop at 10–11 GPa close to that of the structural α-β transition, while the β-Ge samples remain as single crystals until transforming to metastable Ge phases around 6.7–8.5 GPa. In contrast to the covalently bonded α-Ge that displays only a weak participation of $$d$$ electrons in the valence band under compression above 7.7 GPa, our experimental results suggest thatmore »« less
