Pressure-induced phase transitions in orthovanadates have led to interesting physical
phenomena. The observed transitions usually involve large volume collapses and drastic …

Oxides exhibiting the scheelite-type structure are an important class of functional materials
with notable applications in photocatalysis, luminescence, and ionic conductivity. Like all …

The structures of the six perrhenates (AReO4 A= Ag, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Tl) at room
temperature have been established using powder neutron diffraction methods. These …

We present a study of the different high-pressure polymorphs of GdV O 4 and its stability.
Powder x-ray diffraction and Raman experiments show a phase transition from a zircon-to a …

Zircon-type NdVO 4 and scheelite-type PrVO 4 have been studied by means of Raman
spectroscopy up to approximately 20 GPa. In the first compound, zircon-scheelite and …

Zircon-type PrV O 4 has been studied at high pressures and room temperature by means of
synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction. At room temperature, we observed the previously …

In the pursuit of a systematic characterization of rare-earth vanadates under compression, in
this work we present a multifaceted study of the phase behavior of zircon-type …

We present a structural and optical characterization of magnetoelastic zircon-type TmVO4 at
ambient pressure and under high pressure. The properties under high pressure have been …

We report on optical spectroscopic measurements in pure NdVO4 crystals at pressures up to
12 GPa. The influence of pressure on the fundamental absorption band gap and Nd3+ …

The Samarium orthovanadates particles were prepared using the sol-gel method, and the
effect of sintering temperature on the crystallinity was studied in detail through x-ray …
