High-pressure studies reveal thallium

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • High-Pressure Physics

Background:

  • Thallium's high-pressure phase diagram requires further elucidation.
  • Previous experimental data on thallium under extreme pressure is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally and theoretically investigate the high-pressure behavior of thallium.
  • To determine phase transitions and structural stability of thallium up to terapascal pressures.

Main Methods:

  • Room-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) using diamond-anvil cells (DACs) up to 125 GPa.
  • High-pressure, high-temperature (HP-HT) experiments up to 8 GPa and 700 K.
  • Ab initio theoretical calculations for structural stability predictions.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Confirmed the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) to face-centered cubic (fcc) transition at 3.5 GPa.
  • The fcc phase remains stable up to 125 GPa experimentally.
  • Calculations predict fcc stability up to 4.3 TPa, followed by an orthorhombic phase.

Conclusions:

  • The fcc structure is the dominant phase of thallium under extreme pressures.
  • Theoretical predictions align with experimental findings, extending the known stability range of thallium phases.
  • A novel post-fcc orthorhombic phase is predicted at ultra-high pressures.
