Xenotime DyPO₄ and Gd_xDy_(1–x)PO₄ (x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) (tetragonal I41amd zircon structure) have been studied at ambient temperature under high pressures inside a diamond anvil cell with in situ Raman spectroscopy. The typical Raman–active modes of the xenotime structure were observed at low pressures and the appearance of new Raman peaks at higher pressures indicated a phase transformation to a lower symmetry structure—likely monoclinic. Raman mode softening was observed, resulting in a line crossing at approximately 7–8 GPa for each material and preceding the phase transformation. The onset of phase transformation for DyPO₄ occurred at a pressure of 15.3 GPa. DyPO₄ underwent a reversible phase transformation and returned to the xenotime phase after decompression. The transformation pressures of the solid solutions (Gd_xDy_(1–x)PO₄) were in the range 10–12 GPa. The GdxDy(1–x)PO₄ solid solutions yielded partially reversible phase transformations, retaining some of the high–pressure phase spectrum while reforming xenotime peaks during decompression. The substitution of Gd into DyPO₄ decreased the transformation pressure relative to pure DyPO₄. In conclusion, the ability to modify the phase transformation pressures of xenotime rare–earth orthophosphates by chemical variations of solid solutions may provide additional methods to improve the performance of ceramic matrix composites.
