Abstract
Phase transition of CaB6 sample under high pressure was studied by in situ electrical conductivity measurements and synchrotron X-ray diffraction up to 26GPa. Three anomalies in conductivity change were found respectively at 3.7, 12.4 and 21.9GPa. X-ray diffraction reveals that CaB6 transforms from Pm3m to orthogonal structure at 12.32GPa and hence the abnormal conductivity change at 12.4GPa can be attributed to the structural phase transition. The other two anomalies were considered as pressure-induced electronic phase transition in the pressure range of our measurements.
