High pressure ferroelectric-like semi-metallic state in Eu-doped BaTiO3.

We have conducted a detailed high-pressure (HP) investigation on Eu-doped BaTiO3 using angle-resolved x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and dielectric permittivity measurements. The x-ray diffraction data analysis shows a pressure-induced structural phase transition from the ambient tetragonal to the mixed cubic and tetragonal phases above 1.4 GPa.
