[PMID: 38762593 PMCID: PMC11102561 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61861-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024] Open
Abstract
With the advent of toroidal and double-stage diamond anvil cells (DACs), pressures between 4 and 10 Mbar can be achieved under static compression, however, the ability to explore diverse sample assemblies is limited on these micron-scale anvils. Adapting the toroidal DAC to support larger sample volumes offers expanded capabilities in physics, chemistry, and planetary science: including, characterizing materials in soft pressure media to multi-megabar pressures, synthesizing novel phases, and probing planetary assemblages at the interior pressures and temperatures of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. Here we have continued the exploration of larger toroidal DAC profiles by iteratively testing various torus and shoulder depths with central culet diameters in the 30-50 µm range. We present a 30 µm culet profile that reached a maximum pressure of 414(1) GPa based on a Pt scale. The 300 K equations of state fit to our P-V data collected on gold and rhenium are compatible with extrapolated hydrostatic equations of state within 1% up to 4 Mbar. This work validates the performance of these large-culet toroidal anvils to > 4 Mbar and provides a promising foundation to develop toroidal DACs for diverse sample loading and laser heating.

Abstract
Chemical pressure generated through ion doping into crystal lattices has been proven to be conducive to exploration of new matter, development of novel functionalities, and realization of unprecedented performances. However, studies are focusing on one-time doping, and there is a lack of both advanced investigations for multiple doping and sophisticated strategies to precisely and quantitatively track the gradual functionality evolution along with progressive chemical pressure implementation. Herein, high-valent Y3+ and equal-valent Mg2+ is successively doped to replace multiple Ca sites in Ca10.5(PO4)7:Eu2+. The luminescence evolution of Eu2+ serves as an optical probe, allowing step-by-step and atomic-level tracking of the site occupation of Y3+ and Mg2+, interassociation of Ca sites, and ultimately functionality improvement. The resulting Ca8MgY(PO4)7:Eu2+ displays a record-high relative sensitivity for optical thermometry. Utilization of the environment-sensitive emission of Eu2+ as a luminescent probe has offered a unique approach to monitoring structure-functionality evolution in vivo with atomic precision, which shall also be extended to optimization of other functionalities such as ferroelectricity, conductivity, thermoelectricity, and catalytic activity through precise control over atomic diffusion in other types of substances.

Abstract
Pressure alters the nature of chemical bonds and triggers novel reactions. Here, we employed first-principles calculations combined with the CALYPSO structural search technique to reveal the charge transfer reversal between Ca and Te under high pressure in the calcium-tellurium compound (CaxTe1-x, x = 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3). We predict several new phases with conventional and unconventional compounds and found an unfamiliar phenomenon: the Ca-Te compounds will reverse charge transfer between Ca and Te atoms and decompose into elemental solids under pressure. The Bader charge analyses indicate that the Ca2+ ion gains electrons and becomes an anion under high pressure. This leads to a weakened electrostatic interaction between Ca and Te and ultimately results in decomposition. The calculated band occupation number suggests that the occupation of Ca 3d orbitals under high pressure corresponds to this atypical phenomenon. Our results demonstrated the reverse charge transfer between Ca and Te and, in addition, clarified the mechanism of CaxTe1-x decomposition into solid Ca and Te elements under high pressure, providing important insights into the evolution of the properties of alkaline-earth chalcogenide compounds under high pressure.

Pressure-Induced Remarkable Spectral Red-Shift in Mn 2+ -Activated NaY 9 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 Red-Emitting Phosphors for High-Sensitive Optical Manometry. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2308221.

Abstract
To settle the low sensitivity of luminescent manometers, the Mn2+ -activated NaY9 (SiO4 )6 O2 red-emitting phosphors with splendid pressure sensing performances are developed. Excited by 408 nm, the resulting products emit bright red emission originating from 4 T1 (4 G) → 6 A1 transition of Mn2+ , in which the optimal concentration of the activator ion is ≈1 mol%. Moreover, the admirable thermal stability of the developed phosphors is studied and confirmed by the temperature-dependent emission spectra, based on which the activation energy is derived to be 0.275 eV. By analyzing the pressure-dependent Raman spectra, the structural stability of the synthesized compounds at extreme conditions is verified. Furthermore, the designed phosphors exhibit remarkable spectral red-shift at elevated pressure. Especially, as pressure increases from 0.75 to 7.16 GPa, the emission band centroid shifts from 617.2 to 663.4 nm, resulting in a high sensitivity (dλ/dP) of 7.00 nm GPa-1 , whereas the full width at half maximum (FWHM) increases from 83.0 to 110.6 nm, leading to the ultra-high sensitivity (dFWHM/dP) of 10.13 nm GPa-1 . These achievements manifest that the designed red-emitting phosphors are appropriate for ultrasensitive optical manometry. More importantly, the developed manometer is a current global leader in sensitivity, when operating in the band-width mode, that is, FWHM.

Abstract
Accurate and precise measurements of spectroradiometric temperature are crucial for many high pressure experiments that use diamond anvil cells or shock waves. In experiments with sub-millisecond timescales, specialized detectors such as streak cameras or photomultiplier tubes are required to measure temperature. High accuracy and precision are difficult to attain, especially at temperatures below 3000 K. Here, we present a new spectroradiometry system based on multianode photomultiplier tube technology and passive readout circuitry that yields a 0.24 µs rise-time for each channel. Temperature is measured using five color spectroradiometry. During high pressure pulsed Joule heating experiments in a diamond anvil cell, we document measurement precision to be ±30 K at temperatures as low as 2000 K during single-shot heating experiments with 0.6 µs time-resolution. Ambient pressure melting tests using pulsed Joule heating indicate that the accuracy is ±80 K in the temperature range 1800-2700 K.

Abstract
Various phenomena (phase transformations (PTs), chemical reactions, microstructure evolution, strength, and friction) under high pressures in diamond-anvil cell are strongly affected by fields of stress and plastic strain tensors. However, they could not be measured. Here, we suggest coupled experimental-analytical-computational approaches utilizing synchrotron X-ray diffraction, to solve an inverse problem and find fields of all components of stress and plastic strain tensors and friction rules before, during, and after α-ω PT in strongly plastically predeformed Zr. Results are in good correspondence with each other and experiments. Due to advanced characterization, the minimum pressure for the strain-induced α-ω PT is changed from 1.36 to 2.7 GPa. It is independent of the plastic strain before PT and compression-shear path. The theoretically predicted plastic strain-controlled kinetic equation is verified and quantified. Obtained results open opportunities for developing quantitative high-pressure/stress science, including mechanochemistry, synthesis of new nanostructured materials, geophysics, astrogeology, and tribology.

Abstract
The field of polyhalogen chemistry, specifically polyhalogen anions (polyhalides), is rapidly evolving. Here, we present the synthesis of three sodium halides with unpredicted chemical compositions and structures (tP10-Na2Cl3, hP18-Na4Cl5, and hP18-Na4Br5), a series of isostructural cubic cP8-AX3 halides (NaCl3, KCl3, NaBr3, and KBr3), and a trigonal potassium chloride (hP24-KCl3). The high-pressure syntheses were realized at 41-80 GPa in diamond anvil cells laser-heated at about 2000 K. Single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) provided the first accurate structural data for the symmetric trichloride Cl3- anion in hP24-KCl3 and revealed the existence of two different types of infinite linear polyhalogen chains, [Cl]∞n- and [Br]∞n-, in the structures of cP8-AX3 compounds and in hP18-Na4Cl5 and hP18-Na4Br5. In Na4Cl5 and Na4Br5, we found unusually short, likely pressure-stabilized, contacts between sodium cations. Ab initio calculations support the analysis of structures, bonding, and properties of the studied halogenides.

Abstract
Nitride perovskite LaWN3 has been predicted to be a promising ferroelectric material with unique properties for diverse applications. However, due to the challenging sample preparation at ambient pressure, the crystal structure of this nitride remains unsolved, which results in many ambiguities in its properties. Here, the authors report a comprehensive study of LaWN3 based on high-quality samples synthesized by a high-pressure method, leading to a definitive resolution of its crystal structure involving nitrogen deficiency. Combined with theoretical calculations, these results show that LaWN3 adopts an orthorhombic Pna21 structure with a polar symmetry, possessing a unique atomic polarization along the c-axis. The associated atomic polar distortions in LaWN3 are driven by covalent hybridization of W: 5d and N: 2p orbitals, opening a direct bandgap that explains its semiconducting behaviors. The structural stability and electronic properties of this nitride are also revealed to be closely associated with its nitrogen deficiency. The success in unraveling the structural and electronic ambiguities of LaWN3 would provide important insights into the structures and properties of the family of nitride perovskites.

Abstract
We report a novel high-pressure coupling (HPC) reaction that couples the nitridation of Re with high-pressure solid-state metathesis (HPSSM) of Fe3N to produce a spherical bulk RexN/Fe3N composite. Compared with conventional methods, upon coupling of the HPSSM reactions, the synthetic pressure for Re nitridation was successfully reduced from 13 to 10 GPa (for Re3N) and from 20 to 15 GPa (for Re2N). The product RexN species would be surrounded by product Fe3N, resulting in a spherical bulk RexN/Fe3N composite (x = 2 or 3). The composite exhibits a soft magnetic behavior, and the content of nitrogen in RexN (x = 2 or 3) was controlled by adjusting the P-T conditions. The HPC reaction establishes a new approach for the bulk synthesis of 5d transition metal nitride.

[PMID: 36959351 PMCID: PMC10036630 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-31295-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Over the last 60 years, the diamond anvil cell (DAC) has emerged as the tool of choice in high pressure science because materials can be studied at megabar pressures using X-ray and spectroscopic probes. In contrast, the pressure range for neutron diffraction has been limited due to low neutron flux even at the strongest sources and the resulting large sample sizes. Here, we introduce a neutron DAC that enables break-out of the previously limited pressure range. Key elements are ball-bearing guides for improved mechanical stability, gem-quality synthetic diamonds with novel anvil support and improved in-seat collimation. We demonstrate a pressure record of 1.15 Mbar and crystallographic analysis at 1 Mbar on the example of nickel. Additionally, insights into the phase behavior of graphite to 0.5 Mbar are described. These technical and analytical developments will further allow structural studies on low-Z materials that are difficult to characterize by X-rays.

Abstract
The Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) is the experimental implementation of the novel Hybrid Multi Bend Achromat (HMBA) storage ring magnetic lattice concept, which has been realised at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. We present its successful commissioning and first operation. We highlight the strengths of the HMBA design and compare them to the previous designs, on which most operational synchrotron X-ray sources are based. We report on the EBS storage ring's significantly improved horizontal electron beam emittance and other key beam parameters. EBS extends the reach of synchrotron X-ray science confirming the HMBA concept for future facility upgrades and new constructions.

Abstract
Recently, we put forward a direct integral approach to solve the partition function with ultrahigh efficiency and precision, which enables the rigorous ensemble theory to investigate phase behaviors of realistic condensed matters and has been successfully applied to the phase transition of vanadium metal (Ninget al2022J. Phys.: Condens. Matter34425404). In this work, the approach is applied to the structural phase transitions of zirconium metal under compressions up to 160 GPa and ultrahigh calculation precision is achieved. For the obtained equation of state with pressure over 40 GPa, the deviations from latest experiments are within0.7%and the computed transition pressure ofα→ωis 6.93 GPa, which is about five times larger than previous theoretical predictions and in excellent agreement with the measured range of 5-15 GPa. Our results support the argument that there is no existence of the isostructural phase transition of Zr metal that was asserted by recent experimental observations.

Abstract
Achieving room-temperature superconductivity has been an enduring scientific pursuit driven by broad fundamental interest and enticing potential applications. The recent discovery of high-pressure clathrate superhydride LaH10 with superconducting critical temperatures (Tc) of 250-260 K made it tantalizingly close to realizing this long-sought goal. Here, we report a remarkable finding based on an advanced crystal structure search method of a new class of extremely hydrogen-rich clathrate superhydride MH18 (M: rare-earth/actinide atom) stoichiometric compounds stabilized at an experimentally accessible pressure of 350 GPa. These compounds are predicted to host Tc up to 330 K, which is well above room temperature. The bonding and electronic properties of these MH18 clathrate superhydrides closely resemble those of atomic metallic hydrogen, giving rise to the highest Tc hitherto found in a thermodynamically stable hydride compound. An in-depth study of these extreme superhydrides offers insights for elucidating phonon-mediated superconductivity above room temperature in hydrogen-rich and other low-Z materials.
