The reported pressure-induced amorphization in α-NaVO3 has been re-investigated using Raman spectroscopy. Discontinuous changes are noted in the Raman spectrum above 5.6 GPa implying large structural changes across the transition. The decrease in frequency of the V–O stretching mode across the transition suggests that the vanadium atom may be in octahedral coordination in the high pressure phase. Excessive broadening of the internal modes is observed above 6 GPa. New peaks characteristic of a crystalline phase gain in intensity at higher pressures in the bending modes region; however, the transformation is not complete even at 13 GPa. Co-existence of phases is noted over a significant pressure range above the onset of transition. Pressure released spectrum is found to be a mixture of crystalline α-phase, traces of crystalline β-phase and highly disordered phase consisting of V–O units in five- and six-fold coordination.
Raman spectra of α-NaVO3 at different pressures. Spectrum in the range 90–460 cm−1 have a scale factor of 5–5.6 GPa, and thereafter a factor of 2. Inset shows the appearance of weak peaks above 4.4 GPa. *Indicates the modes which increase in intensity above 9 GPa.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
