Abstract
Our in-situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction measurements on zircon structured nanocrystalline chromates show that the structural phase transformation from zircon to scheelite phase proceeds via an intermediate monoclinic phase, i.e., zircon→monoclinic→scheelite. Though there have been speculations about zircon-scheelite phase transformation proceeding through an unstable transient monoclinic phase in ZrSiO4, we have experimentally demonstrated the existence of a similar intermediate stable state in a zircon structured compound. For our nanocrystalline samples, the transformation pressure is found to be higher than the bulk.
