We have investigated the structural behavior of CuSbS₂ and CuSbSe₂ thermoelectric materials under high pressure conditions up to 80 GPa using angle dispersive x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). We have also performed high-pressure Raman spectroscopy measurements up to 15 GPa. We observed a pressure-induced structural transformation from the ambient orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma to a triclinic type structure with space group P1 beginning around 8 GPa in both samples and completing at 13 GPa and 10 GPa in CuSbS₂ and CuSbSe₂, respectively. High pressure Raman experiments complement the transitions observed by high-pressure x-ray diffraction (HPXRD). The transitions were found to be reversible on releasing the pressure to ambient in the DAC. The bulk modulus and compressibility of these materials are further discussed.
