We report emergence of photoluminescence at room temperature in trigonal $Cs_3Bi_2Br_9$ at high pressures. Enhancement in intensity with pressure is found to be driven by increase in distortion of $BiBr_6$ octahedra and iso-structural transitions. Electronic band structure calculations show the sample in the high pressure phase to be an indirect band gap semiconductor. The luminescence peak profile show signatures related to the recombination of free and self trapped excitons, respectively. Blue shift of the both peaks till about 4.4 GPa are due to the exciton recombination before relaxation due to the decrease in exciton lifetime with scattering from phonons

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on resistivity and magnetic ac susceptibility has been studied in Mn-doped CdGeAs2 room-temperature (RT) ferromagnetic chalcopyrite with two types of MnAs micro-clusters. The slight increase of temperature by about 30 K in the region between RT and Curie temperature TC causes a significant change in the positions of pressure-induced semiconductor-metal transition and magnetic phase transitions in low pressure area. By conducting measurements of the anomalous Hall resistance in the field H leq 5 kOe, we present experimental evidence for pressure-induced metamagnetic-like state during the paramagnetic phase at pressure P = 5 GPa.
Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as exciting material systems with atomically thin geometries and unique electronic properties. Pressure is a powerful tool for continuously tuning their crystal and electronic structures away from the pristine states. Here, we systematically investigated the pressurized behavior of MoSe2 up to ~ 60 GPa using multiple experimental techniques and ab -initio calculations. MoSe2 evolves from an anisotropic two-dimensional layered network to a three-dimensional structure without a structural transition, which is a complete contrast to MoS2. The role of the chalcogenide anions in stabilizing different layered patterns is underscored by our layer sliding calculations. MoSe2 possesses highly tunable transport properties under pressure, determined by the gradual narrowing of its band-gap followed by metallization. The continuous tuning of its electronic structure and band-gap in the range of visible light to infrared suggest possible energy-variable optoelectronics applications in pressurized transition-metal dichalcogenides.
We report the pressure dependence of perovskite distortions in rare-earth (R) orthochromites (RCrO3) probed using Raman scattering in order to investigate the origin of structural transition from orthorhombic Pnma to rhombohedral R-3C phase in LaCrO3 . The pressure induced changes in octahedral tilt modes demonstrates that tilt distortions are suppressed in LaCrO3 and are enhanced in the remaining members of RCrO3 family. This crossover between the two opposite pressure behaviors occurs at a critical R-ion radius of 1.20 {AA}. We attempted to establish the relation between this unusual crossover and compressibility at Cr- and R-sites by probing Raman phonon modes sensitive to the mean bond strength of Cr-O and R-O respectively. Finally, we study the bond-length splitting of both CrO6 and RO12 polyhedra to ascertain the role of polyhedral self distortion in determining the pressure dependent evolution of perovskite distortions.
Temperature dependent synchrotron x-ray diffraction and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies were performed to understand the role of structural characteristics in driving the magnetoelectric mul- tiferoic properties of GdCrO3. Th e results suggest that the distortion in the structure appears to be associated with the off-center displacement of Gd-atoms together with octahedral rotations via displacement of the oxygen ions in GdCrO3. In addition, the magnetic coupling below magnetic transition temperature leads to additional distortion in the system via magnetostriction effect, playing a complementary role in the enhancement of ferro- electric polarization. Further, a comparative EXAFS study of GdCrO3 with a similar system YCrO3 suggests that oxygen environment of Gd in GdCrO3 is different from Y in YCrO3, which resulting in an orthorhombic P na21 structure in GdCrO3 in contrast to the monoclinic P 21 structure in YCrO3 .
SrMoO4 was studied under compression up to 25 GPa by angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction. A phase transition was observed from the scheelite-structured ambient phase to a monoclinic fergusonite phase at 12.2(9) GPa with cell parameters a = 5.265(9) A, b = 11.191(9) A, c = 5.195 (5) A, and beta = 90.9, Z = 4 at 13.1 GPa. There is no significant volume collapse at the phase transition. No additional phase transitions were observed and on release of pressure the initial phase is recovered, implying that the observed structural modifications are reversible. The reported transition appeared to be a ferroelastic second-order transformation producing a structure that is a monoclinic distortion of the low-pressure phase and was previously observed in compounds isostructural to SrMoO4. A possible mechanism for the transition is proposed and its character is discussed in terms of the present data and the Landau theory. Finally, the EOS is reported and the anisotropic compressibility of the studied crystal is discussed in terms of the compression of the Sr-O and Mo-O bonds.
