Title: Static High Pressure Structural studies on Dy to 119 GPa

Journal Article · · Journal of Applied Physics, n/a, no. 10, May 15, 2004, pp. 5443-5446
OSTI ID:891392

Structural phase transitions in the rare-earth metal Dysprosium have been studied in a Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) to 119 GPa by x-ray diffraction. Four transformations following the sequence hcp {yields} Sm-type {yields} dhcp {yields} hR24 (hexagonal) {yields} bcm (monoclinic) are observed at 6, 15, 43, and 73 GPa respectively. The hexagonal to monoclinic transformation is accompanied by a 6% reduction in volume, which is attributed to delocalization of the 4f electrons, similar to that seen in Ce, Pr, and Gd.
