Powder synthesis and crystal growth of Y2V2O7 under high pressure and its physical properties

Y2V2O7 with pyrochlore structure has been synthesized under a high pressure of 5 GPa at 1200 °C. The crystal structure has been determined by Rietveld analysis of the X-ray diffraction data. The structure is cubic with a=10.0143(8) Å and can be described by the space group F d -3 m (no. 227). Scanni...
