Synthesis of lutetium hydrides at high pressuresOA
High-pressure synthesis of lutetium hydrides from molecular hydrogen(H_(2))and lutetium(Lu)is systematically investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,and visual observations.We demonstrate that the reaction pathway between H_(2)and Lu invariably follows the sequence Lu→LuH_(2)→LuH_(3)and exhibits a notable time dependence.A comprehensive diagram representing the formation and synthesis of lutetium hydrides as a function of pressure and time is constructed.Our findings indicate that the synthesis can be accelerated by elevated temperature and decelerated by increased pressure.Notably,two critical pressure thresholds at ambient temperature are identified:the synthesis of LuH_(2)from Lu commences at a minimum pressure of~3 GPa,while~28 GPa is the minimum pressure at which LuH_(2)fails to transform into LuH_(3)within a time scale of months.This underscores the significant impact of temporal factors on synthesis,with the reaction completion time increasing sub-linearly with rising pressure.Furthermore,the cubic phase of LuH_(3)can be obtained exclusively through compressing the trigonal LuH_(3)phase at~11.5 GPa.We also demonstrate that the bandgap of LuH_(3)slowly closes under pressure and is noticeably lower than that of LuH_(2).
