Abstract

We have investigated structural properties of HoGa2 under hydrostatic pressures up to 45 GPa using angle dispersive X-ray powder diffraction in combination with the diamond anvil cell technique. At 4(1) GPa we observed the onset of a first-order structural phase transition of the AlB2-type low-pressure phase which was associated with a 10% shortening of the c-axis and a 2.5% elongation of the a-axis. Both low-pressure and high-pressure modifications are characterized by 6(3) nets of gallium atoms. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
