Abstract
Several fcc- and hcp-structured Ir–Os alloys were prepared from single-source precursors in hydrogen atmosphere at 873K. Their atomic volumes measured at ambient conditions using powder X-ray diffraction follow nearly linear dependence as a function of composition. Alloys have been studied up to 30GPa at room temperature by means of synchrotron-based X-ray powder diffraction in diamond anvil cells. Their bulk moduli increase with increasing osmium content and show a deviation from linearity. Bulk modulus of hcp-Ir0.20Os0.80 is identical to that of pure Os (411GPa) within experimental errors. Peculiarities on fcc-Ir0.80Os0.20 compressibility curve indicate possible changes of its electronic properties at ∼20GPa.
