Abstract

An in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction study was carried out on e-FeOOH at room temperature up to a pressure of 8.6 GPa using the energy-dispersive method. The linear compressibility was determined to be β a = 1.69(3) × 10−3 GPa−1, β b = 2.86(6) × 10−3 GPa−1, and β c = 1.73(5) × 10−3 GPa−1. The b-axis of the unit cell is more compressible than the a and c axes. The pressure–volume data were fitted to a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state. The best fit was found using a room temperature isothermal bulk modulus of K 0 = 126(3) GPa and its pressure derivative K′ = 10(1).
