Abstract
Quasi-hydrostatic compression of aluminum carbide, Al4C3 has been studied to 6Â GPa at room temperature using energy-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction with synchrotron radiation. A fit of the experimental p-V data to the Birch equation of state yields the values of the bulk modulus, B0, of 130(5)Â GPa and the first pressure derivative of the bulk modulus, Bâ²0, of 4.6(9). The compression is found to be anisotropic, with the a-axis being more compressible than the c-axis.
