Abstract:

 Since OsB2 shows a very large bulk modulus about 350 GPa, the related compound OsO2 might be a potential candidate as a hard material.[1] So, the phase transition of OsO2 was studied via in situ synchrotron XRD under Mbar pressure range to search hard materials in this work.   In the compression process, OsO2 transforms from the original rutile-type structure to a pyrite-type structure at about 24 GPa, and then to a fluorite-type structure at about 50 GPa. The estimated bulk modulus of 332 GPa for quenchable phase III suggests that fluorite-type OsO2 is stiffer than some well-known hard materials such as B6O and SiC.
