Abstract

The structure of LiNbO3-type FeTiO3 and the oxidation state of Fe have been investigated using X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy in the diamond anvil cell up to 18 GPa at room temperature. A structural phase transition is observed at 15.7 GPa from LiNbO3-type to perovskite-type, accompanied by a volume collapse of 1.5%. LiNbO3-type FeTiO3, which is shown to contain only ferrous iron up to this pressure, and no charge transfer is observed. In addition to the c/a axial ratio that has been used to distinguish between ilmenite and LiNbO3-type FeTiO3, the hyperfine parameters (isomer shift and quadrupole splitting) provide an efficient way to discriminate between these two phases.
