摘要
High-pressure structural transitions in nanocrystalline systems are of significant interest as models of first-order phase transitions. We demonstrate size-induced lattice expansion and significant atomic rearrangements in the crystal structure of nanocrystalline high-pressure baddeleyite-TiO2. The alpha-PbO2 structured TiO2 recovered after dozens of pressure cycles in the alpha-PbO2-baddeleyite pressure field displayed elongate 25-35 nm crystallites, compared to starting 34-nm anatase crystallites, suggesting crystallite coherency across anatase, baddeleyite, and alpha-PbO2 structures and 'single structural domain' behavior of the nanocrystalline system.
