Abstract
Gallogermanates have attracted sufficient attention as a high-pressure model of silicate and aluminosilicate due to chemical deformation of the structure. Thus, the GaGeO3OH compound can be considered as an analog of the phase Egg (AlSiO3OH), which is known as a possible H2O reservoir in the deep Earth's interior. We present a complex study (scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy) on the synthetic GaGeO3OH compound. For the first time, the GaGeO3OH crystals (up to 10 μm in size) are synthesized at 7 GPa and 1000 °C. The unit cell parameters are: a = 7.5785(1), b = 4.4605(3), c = 7.2469(4) Å, β = 97.519(2) °, V = 242.87(02) Å3, space group P21/n. Using in situ Raman spectroscopy at high pressures, the dependence of the shift in the position of the main bands of the GaGeO3OH Raman spectrum on the pressure was established. According to the data of Raman spectroscopy up to ⁓30 GPa, it was revealed that the GaGeO3OH undergoes the possible structural changes at ⁓4 and ⁓ 14 GPa.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems.
Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal:
Low-dimensional systems
Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
