Description/Abstract | First-order phase transitions with strong and extremely anisotropic changes of the lattice parameters were observed in the ThCr{sub 2}Si{sub 2} structure-type compounds EuCo{sub 2}P{sub 2} and SrNi{sub 2}P{sub 2}. At room temperature, with increasing pressure the phase transition occurs in SrNi{sub 2}P{sub 2} at 4 kbar and in EuCo{sub 2}P{sub 2} at 30 kbar which is in the latter probably accompanied by a valence change of Eu. On the basis of single-crystal data of ACo{sub 2}P{sub 2} (A= Ca, Sr, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu) at ambient pressure and temperature we discuss the pressure dependence of the bond lengths in these compounds.{copyright}{ital 1997}{ital The American Physical Society} |
