Abstract
We combined synchrotron-based infrared absorbance and Raman scattering spectroscopies with diamond anvil cell techniques and a symmetry analysis to explore the properties of multiferroic (NH4)2FeCl5·H2O under extreme pressure-temperature conditions. Compression-induced splitting of the Fe-Cl stretching, Cl-Fe-Cl and Cl-Fe-O bending, and NH4+ librational modes defines two structural phase transitions, and a group-subgroup analysis reveals space group sequences that vary depending upon proximity to the unexpectedly wide order-disorder transition. We bring these findings together with prior high-field work to develop the pressure-temperature-magnetic field phase diagram uncovering competing polar, chiral, and magnetic phases in this system.

Abstract
The pressure-induced properties of hybrid organic-inorganic ferroelectrics (HOIFs) with tunable structures and selectable organic and inorganic components are important for device fabrication. However, given the structural complexity of polycrystalline HOIFs and the limited resolution of pressure data, resolving the structure-property puzzle has so far been the exception rather than the rule. With this in mind, we present a collection of in situ high-pressure data measured for triethylmethylammonium tetrabromoferrate(III), ([N(C2H5)3CH3][FeBr4]) (EMAFB) by unraveling its flexible physical and photophysical behavior up to 80 GPa. Pressure-driven X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy disclose its soft and reversible structural distortion, creating room for delicate band gap modulation. During compression, orange turns dark red at ∼2 GPa, and further compression results in piezochromism, leading to opaque black, while decompressed EMAFB appears in an orange hue. Assuming that the mechanical softness of EMAFB is the basis for reversible piezochromic control, we present alternations in the electronic landscape leading to a 1.22 eV band narrowing at 20.3 GPa while maintaining the semiconducting character at 72 GPa. EMAFB exhibits an emission enhancement, manifested by an increase of photoluminescence up to 17.3 GPa, correlating with the onsets of structural distortion and amorphization. The stimuli-responsive behavior of EMAFB, exhibiting stress-activated modification of the electronic structure, can enrich the physical library of HOIFs suitable for pressure-sensing technologies.

Abstract
Multiferroic materials with the cross-coupling of magnetic and ferroelectric orders provide a new platform for physics study and designing novel electronic devices. However, the weak coupling strength of ferroelectricity and magnetism is the main obstacle for potential applications. The recent research focuses on enhancing the coupling effect via synthesizing novel materials in a chemical route or tuning the multiferroicity in the physical way. Among them, pressure is an effective method to modify multiferroic materials, especially when the chemical doping has reached its tuning limit. In this work, we systemically studied the multiferroic properties in a hydrogen-bonded metal-organic framework (MOF) [(CH3)2NH2]Ni(HCOO)3 under high pressure. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering reveal that a structural phase transition occurs in a pressure region of 6-9 GPa, and the crystal structure is greatly modified by pressure. With the ac magnetic susceptibility, pyroelectric current, and dielectric constant measurements, we obtain the multiferroic property evolution under high pressure and create a temperature-pressure phase diagram. Our study demonstrates that the pressure can modify the magnetic superexchange interaction and hydrogen bonding simultaneously in these perovskite-like MOFs. The multiferroic phase region has been expanded to higher temperature due to the pressure-enhanced spin-phonon coupling effect.

Abstract
In the last decade, one of the most widely examined compounds of motal-organic frameworks was undoubtedly ((CH3)2NH2)(Zn(HCOO)3), but the problem of the importance of framework dynamics in the order–disorder phase change of the mechanism has not been fully clarified. In this study, a combination of temperature-dependent dielectric, calorimetric, IR, and Raman measurements was used to study the impact of ((CH3)2NH2)(Zn(DCOO)3) formate deuteration on the phase transition mechanism in this compound. This deuteration led to the stiffening of the metal-formate framework, which in turn caused an increase in the phase transition temperature by about 5 K. Interestingly, the energetic ordering of DMA+ cations remained unchanged compared to the non-deuterated compound.

Abstract
Extreme pressures and high magnetic fields can affect materials in profound and fascinating ways. However, large pressures and fields are often mutually incompatible; the rapidly changing fields provided by pulsed magnets induce eddy currents in the metallic components used in conventional pressure cells, causing serious heating, forces, and vibration. Here, we report a diamond-anvil-cell made mainly out of insulating composites that minimizes inductive heating while retaining sufficient strength to apply pressures of up to 8 GPa. Any residual metallic component is made of low-conductivity metals and patterned to reduce eddy currents. The simple design enables rapid sample or pressure changes, desired by pulsed-magnetic-field-facility users. The pressure cell has been used in pulsed magnetic fields of up to 65 T with no noticeable heating at cryogenic temperatures. Several measurement techniques are possible inside the cell at temperatures as low as 500 mK.
