| Research Abstract |
To verify universality of various high-pressure phenomena found in molecular crystals is of great importance in developing fundamental and applied material sciences. In this study, we demonstrated experimentally that in boron tiiodide the dimerization of the molecule took place upon the pressure-induced structural change. A crystal structure of a ultra-high pressure phase of tin tetraiodide was successfully estimated from a first-principles calculation based on a density-functional theory. We measured a melting curve of germanium tetraiodide at high pressures and high temperatures. Unique shape of the curve with kink strongly implied the possibility that two distinct structures could be existent in the liquid phase.
