Abstract

High pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments were conducted on KCa2Nb3O10, to determine lattice constants as a function of pressure. A diamond anvil cell was used to produce pressures up to 66 GPa. A phase transition occurred at 13.5 GPa. From the lattice constants, linear compressibilities of 8.55 × 10-4 GPa-1 in the a direction, -9.40 × 10-4 GPa-1 in the b direction, and 142 × 10-4 GPa-1 in the c direction, and a bulk modulus of 68.5 GPa were found for the lower pressure orthorhombic phase.
