Abstract

An in-situ Raman spectroscopic study was conducted to explore the pressure induced phase transformation of spinel-type ferrite ZnFe₂O ₄. Results indicate that ferrite ZnFe₂O₄ initially transforms to an orthorhombic structure phase (CaFe₂O ₄-polymorph) at a pressure of 24.6 GPa. Such a phase transformation is complete at 34.2 GPa, and continuously remains stable to the peak pressure of 61.9 GPa. The coexistence of the two phases over a wide range of pressure implies a sluggish mechanism upon the spinel-to-orthorhombic phase transition. Upon release of pressure, the high pressure ZnFe₂O₄ polymorph is quenchable at ambient conditions.
