Abstract
ABSTRACTIn situ X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering experiments using a diamond anvil cell revealed that Im-3-type KSbO3 remains stable up to 40.5 GPa with a bulk modulus K0 = 101.6 (7) GPa. Rietveld structure refinements and mode Grüneisen parameters suggested that the stability mechanism of this three-dimensional cubic tunnel structure was attributed to the isotropic compression for all types of Sb–O bonding in the unit of SbO6 octahedron. Isotropic structure adjustment with external pressure reflected the nature that Im-3-type KSbO3 model structure has a high ionic tolerance with a change in the chemical pressure in the isomorphous substitutions.
