Abstract

High pressure in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiment of strontium orthophosphate Sr3(PO4)2 has been carried out to 20.0 GPa at room temperature using multianvil apparatus. Fitting a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state to the P-V data yields a volume of V0 = 498.0 ± 0.1 Å3, an isothermal bulk modulus of KT = 89.5 ± 1.7 GPa, and first pressure derivative of KT′ = 6.57 ± 0.34. If KT′ is fixed at 4, KT is obtained as 104.4 ± 1.2 GPa. Analysis of axial compressible modulus shows that the a-axis (Ka = 79.6 ± 3.2 GPa) is more compressible than the c-axis (Kc = 116.4 ± 4.3 GPa). Based on the high pressure Raman spectroscopic results, the mode Grüneisen parameters are determined and the average mode Grüneisen parameter of PO4 vibrations of Sr3(PO4)2 is calculated to be 0.30(2).
