High pressure stability of β-Zr: no evidence for isostructural phase transitions
Abstract
Isostructural transitions have been reported to occur in several pure elements; however, most of these have been disproven. Zr is one of those elements which remains controversial with two reports of an isostructural bcc-to-bcc transition at ~56–60 GPa at an ambient temperature and a more recent report proposing a second bcc-to-bcc transition at 110 GPa. Here, we report a detailed experimental and theoretical study of zirconium in the pressure region of the proposed isostructural transition(s). We conducted three room temperature static compression experiments using Ne as a pressure transmitting medium up to 80 GPa. We see no evidence for an isostructural transition finding a smooth compression curve for β-Zr. We determined the theoretical volume, elastic parameters, and Poisson’s ratio for β-Zr up to 717 GPa and no obvious anomalies are identified. Our new results join the growing body of evidence that does not find evidence of isostructural transitions in β-Zr.
