摘要
Evidence for a structural phase transition from rutile alpha-CrO2 phase I (P4(2)/mnm) to orthorhombic beta-CrO2 phase II (CaCl2-like, Pnnm) is presented using angle-resolved synchrotron x-ray diffraction and high-sensitivity confocal Raman spectroscopy. The transition to the CaCl2 structure, which appears to be second order, occurs at 12 +/- 3 GPa without any measurable discontinuity in volume, but is accompanied by an apparent increase in compressibility. Raman data are also presented to show further evidence for a second-order structural phase transition as well to demonstrate soft-mode behavior of the B-1g phonon mode.
