Abstract

A high-pressure quasi-single crystal X-ray diffraction study of a synthetic iron oxide Fe0.95O sample was performed up to 80 GPa using the diamond anvil cell technique. At a pressure of about 75 GPa after laser annealing we observed a new high-pressure monoclinic modification of FeO with P21/m space group. The structure is closely related to that of cubic sodium chloride as a distortion of the lattice. The sequence of transitions cubic-trigonal-monoclinic for FeO follows group-subgroup relations.
