The tetragonal polymorph of Bi₁₄WO₂₄ was studied under high-pressure conditions using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. It was found that in contrast to isostructural Bi₁₄CrO₂₄ and Bi₁₄MoO₂₄ which experience a phase transition around 5 GPa, in our study Bi₁₄WO₂₄ apparently undergoes an irreversible chemical decomposition into Bi₂O₃ and WO₃ at 2.85(5) GPa. The pressure dependence of the unit-cell parameters of Bi₁₄WO₂₄ was also determined, and hence the linear compressibility along different axes and room-temperature pressure–volume equation of state were derived. Bulk modulus of tetragonal Bi₁₄WO₂₄ was found to be 49.8(2.6) GPa, and the linear compressibility of the two crystallographic axes, κ_a and κ_c were 6.94(2) 10⁻³ GPa⁻¹ and = 3.73(1) 10⁻³ GPa⁻¹, respectively. The pressure induced decomposition can be attributed to the favourable increasing density of the system to accommodate the pressure induced stress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21042,"journal":{"name":"Results in Physics","volume":"70 ","pages":"Article 108170"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143478812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parameters of Saturn’s B-ring are used for the graphical analysis. Graphical illustrations show that the solved NLPDE admits both compressive and rarefactive solitary solution depending on the velocity of the solitary structure. 3-D representation of compressive and rarefactive solitary structuresd appear as the spokes like structures (dark and bright, respectively) which are wider at the base and become narrower as the radial distance increases. This observation further supports the hypothesis that nonlinear drift waves may indeed correspond to the spokes observed in Saturn’s B-ring. It is noted that bright and dark spokes exhibit distinct behaviors in response to variations in the plasma parameters. By applying plasma parameters typical of those found in Saturn’s B-ring, it is demonstrated that the theoretically predicted spatiotemporal scale lengths align closely with the observations of the spokes made by various space missions and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21042,"journal":{"name":"Results in Physics","volume":"70 ","pages":"Article 108149"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143420690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
