Static high-pressure structural studies on Dy to 119 GPa
2004
Structural phase transitions in the rare-earth metal dysprosium have been studied in a diamond anvil cell to 119 GPa by x-ray diffraction. Four transformations following the sequence hcp→Sm-type→dhcp→hR24 (hexagonal)→bcm (monoclinic) are observed at 6, 15, 43, and 73 GPa, respectively. The hexagonal to monoclinic transformation is accompanied by a 6% reduction in volume, which is attributed to delocalization of the 4f electrons, similar to that seen in Ce, Pr, and Gd.
