Abstract

The effect of pressure upon the structures of pure and doped BaBiO₃ and Bi₂Sr₂Ca_n-1Cu_nO_4+2n (n = 1, 2 and 3) has been studied using energy-dispersive powder diffraction. The lattice parameters of BaBiO₃, Ba_0.6K_0.4BiO₃ and BaPb_0.75Bi_0.25O₃ were found to decrease monotonically with pressure. Bi₂Sr₂CuO₆ was found to transform at 39 kbar from the ambient orthorhombic structure to a tetragonal structure. Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ and Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O₁₀ were found to transform to non-crystalline phases between 20 and 30 kbar.
