Title: Pressure-Induced Structural Evolution and Elastic Behaviour of Na{6}Cs{2}Ga{6}Ge{6}O{24} Variant of Cancrinite: A Synchrotron Powder Diffraction Study

Journal Article · · Microporous and Mesoporous Materials

The elastic behaviour and the pressure (P) induced structural evolution of Na6Cs2Ga6Ge6O24 Ge(OH)6, a synthetic compound isotypic with cancrinite (CAN topology), have been investigated up to 5.01(5) GPa by means of in situ X-ray synchrotron powder diffraction with a diamond anvil cell and using a nominally penetrating hydrous P-transmitting medium (methanol:ethanol:water = 16:3:1). No evidence of phase-transition was observed within the P-range investigated.
