摘要
The structural changes of SmNiO3 under high pressure have been studied by means of x-ray powder diffraction with synchrotron radiation in a diamond anvil cell. The orthorhombic perovskite structure transforms into the less distorted R3c rhombohedral structure at a pressure of 26 GPa. The volume versus pressure data are well described by a single Murnaghan equation of state, which yields a bulk modulus of 167 GPa. At 2.5 GPa the cell parameter b undergoes a small abrupt contraction that we propose is related to the expected pressure-induced metallization.
