Characterization and Decomposition of the Natural van der Waals SnSb2Te4 under Compression

Abstract: High pressure X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering and electrical measurements, together with theoretical calculations, which include the analysis of the topological electron density and electronic localization function, evidence the presence of an isostructural phase transition around 2 GPa, a Fermi resonance around 3.5 GPa and a pressure-induced decomposition of SnSb2Te4 into the high-pressure phases of its parent binary compounds (-Sb2Te3 and SnTe) above 7 GPa. The internal polyhedral compressibility, the b… Show more

“…iii) The FWHM of the first ARM is always larger than that of the second one as in trigonal Te and the FWHM of the two ARMs in Te precipitates is always larger than in pure Te as expected for layers of nanometric size. iv) The two strongest ARMs measured in some tellurides, like ZnTe, 7 CdTe, 7 α-As2Te3, 23 and SnSb2Te4, 40 show negative pressure coefficients as those reported for bulk trigonal Te. [65][66][67] Moreover, the first anomalous Raman mode shows a larger negative pressure coefficient than the second one, as in trigonal Te.…”

“…[65][66][67] Moreover, the first anomalous Raman mode shows a larger negative pressure coefficient than the second one, as in trigonal Te. 7,23,40 The negative pressure coefficients shown by the ARMs are clear fingerprints of the Te nature of the ARMs in tellurides. Therefore, all the above mentioned features clearly indicate that the ARMs in tellurides are related to the formation of nanocrystalline trigonal Te either in form of small grains or layers.…”

“…The pressure coefficients in the low-pressure phase are comparable to pressure coefficients in Fe(IO 3 ) 3 [13], LiIO 3 [28], and KIO 3 [29] in the same frequency region, indicating that Zn(IO 3 ) 2 is extremely compressible, similar to these other iodates. Additionally, the pressure coefficients for the different HP phases are of the same order of magnitude as in the low-pressure phase, suggesting that the changes in the coordination polyhedra are not drastic and that the transition is probably related to gradual changes in cation coordination number [30]. Table 2.…”
