Abstract

Abstract Neptunium and plutonium monopnictides and monochalcogenides were studied by x-ray diffraction at pressures up to 57 GPa. All of them exhibit structural phase transitions under pressure. The arsenides and tellurides have a CsCl (B2) type high-pressure structure. Sb as an anion favours a tetragonal high-pressure structure. The compressibilities were determined for all of the compounds studied. The results are compared to those obtained for the corresponding thorium and uranium compounds.
