Abstract
Using a synchrotron-radiation source and a diamond-anvil cell, we measured the pressure dependence of the lattice parameters of a polycrystalline
Zr
2
InC
sample. Up to a pressure of
52
GPa
, no phase transformations were observed. As observed in
Ti
3
SiC
2
and
Ti
3
Si
0.5
Ge
0.5
C
2
, the compressibility of
Zr
2
InC
along the
c
axis was greater than along the
a
axis. The bulk modulus is
127
±
5
GPa
, with a pressure derivative of
4.25
±
0.3
; the former is in excellent agreement with our
ab initio
calculations
(
130.9
GPa
)
. The
a
(
3.367
Å
)
and
c
(
15.100
Å
)
parameters from the
ab initio
calculations are also slightly larger than those measured here, viz.,
3.35
and
14.91
Å
. Surprisingly, a hysteresis was observed in the
a
-lattice parameters; they were higher upon unloading than loading. The reason for this hysteresis is not clear at this time.
