description

Abstract Orthorhombic KNbO3 has been studied by x-ray diffraction as a function of pressure. The lattice cell parameters, volume and stability range of this phase have been determined as a function of the applied pressure. No structural transformation has been observed up to 12 GPa. The resulting P-V data are fitted to a Murnaghan equation state of first-order.
