Investigation into high-pressure behavior of MnTiO3: X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy with diamond anvil cells

The structural stability of manganese titanate MnTiO3 at high pressure was investigated by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy with diamond anvil cells. Ilmenite-type MnTiO3 is stable at least to 26.6 GPa, and lithium niobate type MnTiO3 reversibly transforms at room temperature to perovskite a...
