A review on the advancements in the characterization of the high-pressure properties of iodates

The goal of this work is to report a systematic and balanced review the progress made in recent years on high-pressure behavior iodates, group materials with multiple technological applications peculiar behaviors under external compression. This article presents results obtained from characterization techniques which include: X-ray diffraction, Raman infrared spectroscopy, optical-absorption, resistivity, second-harmonic generation measurements. discussion experiments will be combined density-functional theory calculations have been shown very useful tool for interpretation experimental data. Throughout manuscript many phenomena observed connected presence lone electron pairs iodine atoms studied iodates. plays crucial role iodates it associated discussed here, particular pressure-induced changes character iodine-oxygen bonds, causes physical properties behave nonlinearly. Towards end review, current problems that remain unsolved presented as well proposals possible avenues future studies.
