Pressure driven polymorphic transitions in nanocrystalline Lu₂O₃, Tm₂O₃ and Eu₂O₃.

ABSTRACT: The crystallite size of the materials considerably influences the material properties, including their compressibility and resistance to external forces and the stability of the crystalline structure; a corresponding study for which, so far, has been limited for the important class of nanocrystalline Rare Earth Sesquioxides (REOs). In the present study, we report the crystallographic structural transitions in nanocrystalline Rare Earth Oxides (REOs) under the influence of pressure, investigated via high-energy X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements. The study has been carried out on three of the REOs, namely Lutetium oxide (Lu₂O₃), Thulium oxide (Tm₂O₃) and Europium oxide (Eu₂O₃) up to the pressures of 33, 22 and 11 GPa, respe
