High-enthalpy crystalline phases of cadmium telluride

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) has been studied using synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell up to 63 GPa at room temperature combined with density functional calculations. The experiment reveals two pressure-induced structural phase transitions with the following sequence: rocksalt...
