Article Synopsis
- A transformation from a zircon-type crystal structure to an amorphous form occurs in YVO4:Eu(3+) nanoboxes when subjected to high pressures above 12.7 GPa, as indicated by x-ray diffraction.
- The local structure of the amorphous phase resembles a scheelite-type structure rather than being entirely random.
- This phase transition is further validated by Raman spectroscopy and Eu(3+) photoluminescence data, which suggest multiple local environments for Eu(3+) in the low-pressure phase, indicating a complex structural behavior in the nanoboxes.
