Abstract

ABSTRACT The equation of state of potassium iodide, KI, has been determined up to 156 GPa at 298 K by angular-dispersive X-ray diffraction in diamond-anvil-cell. Helium pressure transmitting medium was used to minimize non-hydrostatic stress on the sample. The B2 phase is stable at least between 2 and 156 GPa. Pressure–volume data were fitted using a Rydberg–Vinet equation of state. The volume, isothermal bulk modulus and its pressure derivative of B2-KI at ambient pressure are , GPa and . It allows using KI as a pressure calibrant in high pressure experiments.
