New beta(fcc)-cobalt to 210 GPa

Abstract:
We report a new phase transition in cobalt from the magnetic varepsilon(hcp) to a beta(fcc) phase, likely nonmagnetic, at 105 GPa. It occurs martensitically in an extended pressure region between 105 and 150 GPa without any apparent volume change. The fcc phase of Co is in systematic accordance with the 4d and 5d counterparts. The pressure-volume isotherm of beta-Co resembles those of alpha(fcc)-Ni and varepsilon(hcp)-Fe within 1%. The phase diagram of cobalt suggests that the fcc stability increases with increasing occupancy of d-band electrons from Fe to Co to Ni.
