Abstract
We have mapped the phase diagram of BaTiO3
more extensively than previous attempts using high-pressure
neutron-powder diffraction. The mapping of the phase diagram has been
performed using isothermal compression at fixed temperatures (175, 225,
290, 480 K) within each of the known crystallographic phases, up to ∼6
GPa using a large volume press. The crystallographic structure of each
phase has been measured, and the determined absolute atomic
displacements of all atoms within the cell have provided detailed
information on the order of the phase transitions observed, and the
behaviour of the ferroelectric dipole moment.
