Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāThe pressure effect on the crystalline structure of the I-II-V semiconductor Li(Zn,Mn)As ferromagnet is studied using in situ high-pressure x-ray diffraction and diamond anvil cell techniques. A phase transition starting at ā¼11.6 GPa is found. The space group of the high-pressure new phase is proposed as Pmca. Fitting with the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative of the ambient pressure structure with space group of are GPa and , respectively.
