摘要
High-pressure phase stabilities of the CaSnO3 system were investigated using density functional theory static lattice energy calculations. We have identified six phase changes in this system: perovskite-post-perovskite, post-perovskite-B2+cotunnite in CaSiO3, B1-B2 in CaO, cassiterite-pyrite, pyrite-orthorhombic-I, and orthorhombic-I-cotunnite in SnO2- Our results demonstrate a new high-pressure phase sequence of perovskite -> post-perovskite -> B2 + cotunnite. The post-perovskite transformation occurs at similar to 12 GPa with similar to 2.5% volume reduction and then it decomposes into the oxide mixture of B2 CaO and cotunnite SnO2 at similar to 70 GPa with 8.1% volume reduction. The results also predict a few percent bulk velocity variations across these phase changes.
