Lattice dynamics of Sb2Te3at high pressures

Elasticity and lattice dynamics of enstatite at high pressure

[1] The behavior of synthetic-powdered 57Fe-enriched enstatite (Mg0.980Fe0.020(5))(Mg0.760Fe0.240)Si2O6 has been explored by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (NRIXS). The Pbca-structured enstatite sample was compressed in fine pressure increments for our independent XRD measurements. One structural transition between 10.1 and 12.2 GPa has been identified f...

Lattice dynamics of MgO at high pressure: theory and experiment.

The longitudinal acoustic and optical phonon branches along the Gamma-X direction of MgO at 35 GPa have been determined by inelastic x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation and a diamond-anvil cell. The experimentally observed phonon branches are in remarkable agreement with ab initio lattice dynamics results. The derived thermodynamic properties, such as the specific heat CV and the entro...

Unusual lattice dynamics of vanadium under high pressure.

The electronic structures and lattice dynamics of pressure-induced complex phase transitions [bcc --> hR1(110.5 degrees) --> distorted-hR1(108.2 degrees) --> bcc] in vanadium as a function of pressure up to 400 GPa have been investigated with an ab initio method using density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). At ambient pressure, the soft transverse acoustic phonon mode corresponding to Ko...

Dynamics of cerebral venous and intracranial pressures.

Traumatic brain injury and stroke are both characterized by an ischemic core surrounded by a penumbra of low to hyperemic flows. The underperfused ischemic core is the focus of edema development, but the source of the edema fluid is not known. We hypothesized that flow of edema fluid into the tissue is derived from cerebral venous circulation pressure, which always exceeds intracranial pressure...
