Abstract

The structure of the (Formula presented.) eutectic liquid alloy is investigated both under ambient conditions and at high pressure/high temperature using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The local structure of the liquid alloy at ambient conditions is analyzed using double-edge refinements of the XAS data. Solid–liquid phase transitions under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions are monitored by combined XAS and XRD measurements along several quasi-isobaric heating runs, allowing to draw a melting line up to 10 GPa. The established melting line is found to be slightly below the one of pure gallium (Ga) and to follow its trend as expected from the eutectic nature of the compound. A series of Ga K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra measured at different pressures indicates the absence of large structural modifications at local Ga sites in the liquid within the investigated pressure and temperature range. © 2021 The Authors. physica status solidi (RRL) Rapid Research Letters published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.
