Phase Transition of Na3As under Pressure

  • Heinz Jürgen Beister , Karl Syassen and Jürgen Klein

We have investigated the high pressure behaviour of Na3As by powder X-ray diffraction. At 3.6 GPa the material undergoes a reversible phase transition from the Na3As structure (P 63/mmc, a = 487.4(8) pm, c = 851.5(20) pm, Z = 2, at 3.6 GPa) to the Li3Bi structure type (Fm 3̅ m, a = 683.5(15) pm, Z = 4, at 3.6 GaP). The equation of states is given for the pressure range up to 26 GPa. Results are discussed with respect to structural properties of related A3IBV-compounds
