摘要
We have investigated the crystal structure of orthorhombic CuGeO3 under hydrostatic pressure (P<6.5 GPa, T=298 K) using high-resolution angle-dispersive x-ray powder diffraction. A nonlinear compression behavior is observed for all three crystallographic axes. Full profile refinements of the diffraction patterns provide the internal structural parameters in the stability range of the ambient pressure phase. The main structural changes induced by pressure consist of tilting of the CuO4 ribbons around the c axis and a large decrease of the Cul-Ol bond distance. Possible implications of these results for the explanation of the strong pressure dependence of the spin-Peierls transition temperature are discussed. [S0163-1829(97)52242-9].
