Mechanoluminescence (ML) is the emission of light consecutive to a mechanical force or
stress imposed to a crystalline material. Many inorganic and organic compounds present …

The development of apparatus to maintain materials at high hydrostatic pressure has been
an active area of research for many years. From the pioneering work of Bridgman, during the …

In addressing the broad spectrum of applications for optical pressure sensors, their
predominant drawback lies in their limited sensitivity to pressure fluctuations. To overcome …

High-pressure X-ray diffraction was carried out on a single crystal of gypsum compressed in
a diamond anvil cell. The sample maintained its crystal structure up to 4.0±0.1 GPa. The fit of …

Using single-crystal X-ray diffraction from a diamond anvil cell, the compressibility of a
synthetic fluorapatite was determined up to about 7 GPa. The compression pattern was …

Comprehensive x-ray powder diffraction studies were carried out in magnetite in the 80–150
K and<? format?> 0–12 GPa ranges with a membrane-driven diamond anvil cell and helium …

High-precision powder x-ray diffraction and Fe 57 Mössbauer studies up to 20 GPa show
that magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) undergoes a reversible normal↔ inverse transition with increasing …

The compressibility and structural variations of two 2M 1 muscovites having compositions
(Na 0.07 K 0.90 Ba 0.01□ 0.02)(Al 1.84 Ti 0.04 Fe 0.07 Mg 0.04)(Si 3.02 Al 0.98) O 10 (OH) …

This is a comparative study on lattice compressibility, pressure (P)-induced structural
deformation mechanisms and influence of the framework and extra-framework content on …

First-principles calculations have been used to study the structural and electronic properties
of technologically important matlockite compounds MFX (MBa, Sr, Pb; XCl, Br, I) using a full …
