From: High-pressure X-ray diffraction, Raman and computational studies of MgCl2 up to 1 Mbar: Extensive pressure stability of the β-MgCl2 layered structure

Figure 3

(a) Pressure dependence of the lattice parameters and (b) volume-pressure data for CdCl2- and CdI2-type phases of MgCl2. The solid red line is a third-order BM equation of state fit of the HP phase experimental data. The inset in (b) shows the normalized lattice parameters of the CdI2-type phase. The asterisks denote the values of the lattice parameters at the onset pressure of the HP phase. Experimental results are represented by solid and open symbols during compression and decompression respectively. Calculated values are represented by solid green and blue lines for CdCl2- and CdI2-type phases respectively.
