High-Pressure Structural Changes in the Gd2Zr2O7 Pyrochlore
Journal Article
·
· Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics
Pressure-induced structural changes in Gd2Zr2O7 pyrochlore have been investigated at pressures up to 43GPa by synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. With increasing pressure, the ordered pyrochlore begins to transform to a disordered defect-fluorite-type (cubic) structure up to 15GPa . Above 15GPa , a high-pressure (HP) phase forms that has a distorted defect-fluorite-structure of lower symmetry. Upon release of pressure, the HP phase is not stable and gradually transforms back to the cubic defect-fluorite structure.
