Abstract
The pressure-induced structural evolution of Ca2SnO4, Sr2SnO4, and Zn2SnO4 has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction up to 20 GPa using the ALBA synchrotron radiation source and density functional theory calculations. No phase transition was observed in Ca2SnO4 and Zn2SnO4 in the investigated pressure range. The observation in Zn2SnO4 solves contradictions existing in the literature. In contrast, a phase transition was observed in Sr2SnO4 at a pressure of 9.09 GPa. The transition was characterized as from the ambient-condition tetragonal polymorph (space group I4/mmm) to the low-temperature tetragonal polymorph (space group P42/ncm). The linear compressibility of crystallographic axes and room-temperature pressure-volume equation of state are reported for the three compounds studied. Calculated elastic constants and moduli are also reported as well as a systematic discussion of the high-pressure behavior and bulk modulus of M2SnO4 stannates.

Abstract
The structural behavior of nanocrystalline α-CuMoO4 was studied at ambient temperature up to 2 GPa using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. We found that nanocrystalline α-CuMoO4 undergoes a structural phase transition into γ-CuMoO4 at 0.5 GPa. The structural sequence is analogous to the behavior of its bulk counterpart, but the transition pressure is doubled. A coexistence of both phases was observed till 1.2 GPa. The phase transition gives rise to a change in the copper coordination from square-pyramidal to octahedral coordination. The transition involves a volume reduction of 13% indicating a first-order nature of the phase transition. This transformation was observed to be irreversible in nature. The pressure dependence of the unit-cell parameters was obtained and is discussed, and the compressibility analyzed.

Abstract
Nanostructured anatase TiO2 undergoes pressure-induced phase transformation, and the transformation sequence is significantly different from the bulk counterpart. The size and the morphology are found both playing a critical role in the phase transformation behavior. In this work, we prepare anatase TiO2 microspheres using a hydrothermal method. By controlling the reaction time, hollow and solid spheres of similar diameters are prepared. TEM and XRD analysis reveals that these microspheres are aggregates of anatase nanocrystalline of size between 15-16 nm. The phase transformation behaviour under high temperature is examined in situ using both Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. We find that although both solid and hollow spheres are micron-sized, they undergo phase transformation sequence similar to nanomaterials with size of several tens of nanometers. Hollow spheres exhibit a higher compressibility than the solid spheres. A detailed analysis based on the formation mechanism of the spheres is performed to explain the unique phase transformation behavior of these materials.

Abstract
We have studied by means of X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy the high-pressure behavior of PbCrO4 nanorods. We have found that these nanorods follow a distinctive structural sequence that differs from that of bulk PbCrO4. In particular, a phase transition from a monoclinic monazite-type PbCrO4 to a novel monoclinic AgMnO4-type polymorph has been discovered at 8.5 GPa. The crystal structure, Raman-active phonons, and compressibility of this novel high-pressure phase are reported for the first time. The experimental findings are supported by ab initio calculations that provide information not only on structural and vibrational properties of AgMnO4-type PbCrO4 but also on the electronic properties. The discovered phase transition triggers a band gap collapse and a subsequent metallization at 44.2 GPa, which has not been observed in bulk PbCrO4. This suggests that nanoengineering can be a useful strategy to drive metallization under compression.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) high pressure behavior has been extensively studied over the years. In this review, we summarize recent progress on the studies of pressure induced NP phase behavior, property, and applications. This review starts with a brief overview of high pressure characterization techniques, coupled with synchrotron X-ray scattering, Raman, fluorescence, and absorption. Then, we survey the pressure induced phase transition of NP atomic crystal structure including size dependent phase transition, amorphization, and threshold pressures using several typical NP material systems as examples. Next, we discuss the pressure induced phase transition of NP mesoscale structures including topics on pressure induced interparticle separation distance, NP coupling, and NP coalescence. Pressure induced new properties and applications in different NP systems are highlighted. Finally, outlooks with future directions are discussed.

Abstract
In situ Raman spectra of HoVO4 micro- and nanocrystals were obtained at high pressures up to 25.4 and 18.0 GPa at room temperature, respectively. The appearance of new peaks in the Raman spectra and the discontinuities of the Raman-mode shift provided powerful evidence for an irreversible zircon-to-scheelite structure transformation for HoVO4 microcrystals at 7.2 GPa and for HoVO4 nanocrystals at 8.7 GPa. The lattice contraction caused by the size effect was thought to be responsible for the different phase-transition pressures. Also, the higher stability of HoVO4 nanocrystals compared with the microcrystals was also confirmed using the Raman frequencies and pressure coefficients. The results of the phase transition of HoVO4 were compared with previously reported rare-earth orthovanadates, and the phase diagram of REVO4 with RE ionic radius at different pressures was presented.

Abstract
Zinc oxide, ZnO, an important technologically relevant binary compound, was investigated by reciprocating compress the sample in a diamond anvil cell using in situ high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The starting sample (∼200 nm) was compressed to 20 GPa and then decompressed to ambient condition. The quenched sample, with average grain size ∼10 nm, was recompressed to 20 GPa and then released to ambient condition. The structural stability and compressibility of the initial bulk ZnO and quenched nano ZnO were compared. Results reveal that the grain size and the fractional cell distortion have little effect on the structural stability of ZnO. The bulk modulus of the B4 (hexagonal wurtzites structure) and B1 (cubic rock salt structure) phases for bulk ZnO under hydrostatic compression were estimated as 164(3) and 201(2) GPa, respectively. Importantly, the effect of pressure in atomic positions, bond distances, and bond angles was obtained. On the basis of this information, the B4-to-B1 phase transformation was demonstrated to follow the hexagonal path rather than the tetragonal path. For the first time, the detail of the intermediate hexagonal ZnO, revealing the B4-to-B1 transition mechanism, was detected by experimental method. These findings enrich our knowledge on the diversity of the size influences on the high-pressure behaviors of materials and offer new insights into the mechanism of the B4-to-B1 phase transition that is commonly observed in many other wurzite semiconductor compounds.

Abstract
This work reports the structural and vibrational properties of nanocrystals of corundum-type In2O3 (rh-In2O3) at high pressures by using angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements up to 30 GPa. The equation of state and the pressure dependence of the Raman-active modes of the corundum phase in nanocrystals are in good agreement with previous studies on bulk material and theoretical simulations on bulk rh-In2O3. Nanocrystalline rh-In2O3 showed stability under compression at least up to 20 GPa, unlike bulk rh-In2O3 which gradually transforms to the orthorhombic Pbca (Rh2O3-III-type) structure above 12-14 GPa. The different stability range found in nanocrystalline and bulk corundum-type In2O3 is discussed.

Abstract
A structural transformation from the zircon-type structure to an amorphous phase has been found in YVO4:Eu(3+) nanoboxes at high pressures above 12.7 GPa by means of x-ray diffraction measurements. However, the pair distribution function of the high-pressure phase shows that the local structure of the amorphous phase is similar to the scheelite-type YVO4. These results are confirmed both by Raman spectroscopy and Eu(3+) photoluminescence which detect the phase transition to a scheelite-type structure at 10.1 and 9.1 GPa, respectively. The irreversibility of the phase transition is observed with the three techniques after a maximum pressure in the upstroke of around 20 GPa. The existence of two (5)D0-->(7)F0 photoluminescence peaks confirms the existence of two local environments for Eu(3+), at least for the low-pressure phase. One environment is the expected for substituting Y(3+) and the other is likely a disordered environment possibly found at the surface of the nanoboxes.
