Raman and X-ray diffraction study of pressure-induced phase transition in synthetic Mg2TiO4
Abstract Synthetic Mg2TiO4 qandilite was investigated to 50 and 40.4 GPa at room temperature using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The Raman measurements showed that cubic Mg2TiO4 spinel transforms to a high pressure tetragonal (I41/amd, No.141) phase at 14.7 GPa. Owing to sl...
