Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The synthesis and application of materials under extreme conditions is a research hotspot and frontier of material science. In recent years, with the rapid development of high-pressure science and technology, the fields of physics, chemistry, material science, geoscience, and other disciplines have seen significant development. Especially in materials science, high pressure will change the interaction between atoms and molecules in materials, cause material structure phase transition, and change the properties of materials. The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase the latest achievements of high pressure in the field of inorganic materials and promote the development of inorganic material research. Papers in this Special Issue on “Research on Synthesis, Sintering, and Properties of New Inorganic Materials under High Pressure and High Temperature” can be experimental or theoretical calculation research results on structural transformation, material modification, nanomaterial preparation, material sintering, and so on under high pressure.

Here, we report results of the investigation of the lattice dynamics of the sylvanite mineral AuAgTe4 in a wide temperature and pressure range by Raman spectroscopy, together with the first-principle calculations. At ambient pressure, the experimental spectrum agrees well with the calculation data. The temperature behavior of the phonon self-energies (frequencies and linewidths) are described by an anharmonic mechanism and imply negligible contributions of electron–phonon interaction at low temperatures. A structural phase transition was recorded in the pressure range of 4–6 GPa, which is in accordance with theoretical predictions. At higher pressures, evidence of local structural disorder was found that made it possible to experimentally observe the spectrum of the density of vibrational states of AuAgTe4, which becomes superconducting under pressure.

Metal-oxide composites are commonly used in high temperature environments for their thermal stability and high melting points. Commonly employed with refractory oxides or carbides such as ZrC and HfC, these materials may be improved with the use of a low density, high melting point ceramic such as CeO2. In this work, the consolidation of W-CeO2 metal matrix composites in the high CeO2 concentration regime is explored. The CeO2 concentrations of 50, 33, and 25 wt.%, the CeO2 particle size from nanometer to micrometer, and various hot isostatic pressing temperatures are investigated. Decreasing the CeO2 concentration is observed to increase the composite density and increase the Vickers hardness. The CeO2 oxidation state is observed to be a combination of Ce3+ and Ce4+, which is hypothesized to contribute to the porosity of the composites. The hardness of the metal-oxide composite can be improved more than 2.5 times compared to pure W processed by the same route. This work offers processing guidelines for further consolation of oxide-doped W composites. Full article

Pressure-induced amorphization (PIA) has drawn great attention since it was first observed in ice. This process depends closely on the crystal structure, the size, the morphology and the correlated pressurization environments, among which the morphology-tuned PIA remains an open question on the widely concerned mesoscale. In this work, we report the synthesis and high-pressure research of VO2(B) nanobelts. XRD and TEM were performed to investigate the amorphization process. The amorphization pressure in VO2(B) nanobelts(~30 GPa) is much higher than that in previous reported 2D VO2(B) nanosheets(~21 GPa), the mechanism is the disruption of connectivity at particular relatively weaker bonds in the (010) plane. These results suggest a morphology-tuned pressure-induced amorphization, which could promote the fundamental understanding of PIA. Full article
