Apparent molar volumes of 1-pentanol in water fromT=298 K toT=413 K atp=0.1 MPa andp=19 MPa

1996

Abstract Densities of 1-pentanol aqueous solutions were measured by using a vibrating tube densimeter especially designed and equipped to perform accurate measurements from ambient conditions up toT=423 K andp=80 MPa. The densimeter was tested by measuring densities of NaCl (aq). A comparison with the most reliable literature data showed very good agreement with differences lower than (0.03 and 0.1) kg·m−3for molalities below and above 0.5 mol·kg−1, respectively. From the density measurements, the apparent molar volumes of 1-pentanol in water,Vφwere determined as a function of molalitymat temperatures fromT=298 K toT=413 K atp=0.1 MPa andp=19 MPa. At a given temperature and pressure, and pa…

Anomalous pressure dependence of the Lamb-Mössbauer factor in a spin crossover system

1986

The dependence of the f-factor on temperature and on pressure up to 1500 bar has been measured in the spin crossover compound [Fe(2-pic-ND2)3]cl2·EtOD. In the transition region around Tc=146.7 K the pressure dependence of f shows an anomalous increase, which can be explained on the basis of a theoretical model for spin transitions developed by us.

Pressure dependence of the low-frequency dielectric constant of KNbO_3

1997

The effect of pressure on the low-frequency dielectric constant, $\epsilon_0$, of single crystals of KNbO_3 is investigated by means of capacitance measurements. The dielectric constant increases with pressure up to 22.5 kbar, where it exhibits a large value ($\epsilon_0$ = 5000), and then decreases. This change in its behaviour is related to a phase transition induced by pressure. On decompression, the samples do not revert back to the ambient pressure phase.

Pressure Dependence of the Low-Frequency Dielectric Constant in III-VI Semiconductors

1999

In this work we report on the pressure dependence of the low-frequency dielectric constant parallel to the c-axis (e∥) in GaS, GaSe, and InSe as obtained from direct capacitance measurements. A large increase of e∥ with pressure has been observed. The pressure change of the lattice polarizability along the c-axis is calculated in the framework of a rigid-ion model from the change of the angle of the anion–cation bond with respect to the layer plane, which results in a slight increase of the lattice contribution. Consequently, the pressure behaviour of e∥ is proposed to arise from the large increase of the electronic polarizability along the c-axis. This is explained through a decrease of th…

Density-functional study of pressure-induced phase transitions and electronic properties of Zn2V2O7

2021

We report a study of the high-pressure behavior of the structural and electronic properties of Zn2V2O7 by means of first-principle calculations using the CRYSTAL code. Three different approaches have been used, finding that the Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr functional is the one that best describes Zn2V2O7. The reported calculations contribute to the understanding of previous published experiments. They support the existence of three phase transitions for pressures smaller than 6 GPa. The crystal structure of the different high-pressure phases is reported. We have also made a systematic study of the electronic band-structure, determining the band-gap and its pressure dependence for the different poly…

Comment on “Molybdenum sound velocity and shear modulus softening under shock compression”

2015

In this Comment we discuss recent results presented by Nguyen et al. on shock compressed molybdenum up to 438 GPa [Phys. Rev. B 89, 174109 (2014)]. The aim of Nguyen's article is to show that there is no phase transition near 210 GPa. We propose instead an interpretation of their data that this material shows the onset of partial melting along the Hugoniot at $240(20)\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$, which is evident from abrupt changes in the pressure dependence of the shear modulus. This interpretation may solve the significant controversy in the melting slopes derived from shock and static experiments.

Velocity distribution of ion beams from the RIKEN IGISOL

1992

Abstract A direct measurement of the velocity distribution of ion beams from an ion-guide isotope separator on-line (IGISOL) was carried out at RIKEN with a technique of laser spectroscopy. The skimmer-potential and gas-cell pressure dependence of the velocity distribution were also measured. The velocity distribution was found to be about two times narrower than that estimated from the mass resolving power (MRP). It is pointed out that the velocity spread deduced from MRP is considerably overestimated at various conditions. The way of improvement to make the velocity distribution of the ion beam from the IGISOL narrower and the feasibility of fast atomic-beam collinear laser spectroscopy a…

Cascade of exotic helium atoms

1987

Abstract The cascade of muonic helium and its pressure dependence has been calculated over the whole pressure range from 1×10 −2 to 1×10 3 atm. The calculation does not use any free parameter. The results show good agreement with experimental data.

Strong enhancement of superconductivity at high pressures within the charge-density-wave states of2H−TaS2and2H−TaSe2

2016

We present measurements of the superconducting and charge density wave critical temperatures (Tc and TCDW) as a function of pressure in the transition metal dichalchogenides 2H-TaSe2 and 2H-TaS2. Resistance and susceptibility measurements show that Tc increases from temperatures below 1 K up to 8.5 K at 9.5 GPa in 2H-TaS2 and 8.2 K at 23 GPa in 2H-TaSe2. We observe a kink in the pressure dependence of TCDW at about 4 GPa that we attribute to the lock-in transition from incommensurate CDW to commensurate CDW. Above this pressure, the commensurate TCDW slowly decreases coexisting with superconductivity within our full pressure range.

1976

The phenomenon of “true cosolvency”, which has only recently been observed in the system acetone/diethyl ether/polystyrene (AC/DEE/PS), is investigated with regard to its pressure dependence and compared with the thermodynamic behaviour of the corresponding binary sub-systems. For the determination of the limits of complete solubility, a pressure apparatus was used which had been constructed, in order to measure the turbidity of fluids in the temperature range of −70 to +500°Cand in the pressure range of 1 to 4000 bar (105 to 4·108 Nm−2). The critical line observed for the system DEE/PS (MPS=20400) looks similar to that reported for AC/PS in the literature, i.e. the upper critical solution …
