Pressure-induced phase transition and band-gap decrease in semiconducting Na3Bi(IO3)6

We report a combined experimental/theoretical high-pressure study of NaBi(IO) under compression to 11.2 GPa at ambient temperature. Through a combination of single-crystal and powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction, optical absorption measurements and ab initio density functional theory calculations w...

Through a combination of single-crystal and powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction, optical absorption measurements and ab initio density functional theory calculations we unambiguously show a first-order pressure-induced phase transition at around 9.5 GPa from the ambient pressure phase, referred to here as α-NaBi(IO), to a new crystalline structure referred to here as β-NaBi(IO). The triclinic (P-1) to triclinic (P1) phase transition is characterised by a doubling of the primitive cell volume, whereby the crystallographic b-axis doubles in length, and by a decrease in the volume per formula unit of approximately 3 %. The phase transition is also characterised by an indirect → indirect electronic bandgap decrease of approximately 0.1 eV as measured by absorption spectroscopy (3.44(1) → 3.32(1) eV) and calculated via density functional calculations (2.48 → 2.33 eV). We also report the pressure evolution of the crystal lattice parameters and isothermal compressibility tensor of the ambient pressure phase α-NaBi(IO), which reveals highly anisotropic compressibility and a bulk modulus of 30.4(7) GPa.The authors acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Research Agency (AEI) and Spanish Ministry of Science and Investigation (MCIN) under projects PID2019106383GB-C41/C43/C44 (DOI: 10.13039/501100011033), and projects PGC2018-101464-B-I00 and PGC2018-097520-A-I00 (cofinanced by EU FEDER funds).
