文摘

This study describes the pressure-induced behavior of ZnS nanosheets by synchrotron angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction (ADXD) measurement up to 32.7 GPa. ZnS nanosheets transform from zinc blende structure to rock salt phase at 13.1 GPa and subsequently to a Cmcm structure at 20.3 GPa. The transition to the Cmcm structure is irreversible for ZnS nanomaterials at a much lower critical pressure than required for ZnS bulk materials. The special morphology of ZnS nanosheets plays a crucial role in the transition to Cmcm structures at comparatively low pressure. Continuous changes in lattice volume in the absence of volume collapse are observed after the transition from rock salt to the Cmcm structure occurs.
