Abstract

This work presents a comprehensive study on phase transition in NaGaO 2 under high pressure and temperature (PT) conditions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phase composition of the recovered samples. Our results revealed that NaGaO 2 could undergo a structural phase transition from orthorhombic β- NaGaO 2 to hexagonal α- NaGaO 2 under high pressure and temperature. The pressuretemperature phase boundaries of NaGaO 2 were determined up to 5 GPa and 2073 K. The hexagonal α- NaGaO 2 sample recovered from higher pressure and temperature exhibited a highly (003) preferred orientation. Besides, a reversible transition from α- to β- NaGaO 2 was observed above 473 K under normal-pressure condition. The high-pressure melting curve of NaGaO 2, for the first time, was measured by using in-situ thermal measurement.
