High‐pressure phase transformation of corundum (α‐Al2O3) observed under shock compressionGeophysical Research Letters, 27
The critical points analysis of electron density, i.e. ρ(x), from ab initio calculations is used in combination with the catastrophe theory to show a correlation between ρ(x) topology and the appearance of instability that may lead to transformations of crystal structures, as a function of pressure/temperature. In particular, this study focuses on the evolution of coalescing non‐degenerate critical points, i.e. such that ∇ρ(xc) = 0 and λ1, λ2, λ3 ≠ 0 [λ being the eigenvalues of the Hessian of ρ(x) at xc], towards degenerate critical points, i.e. ∇ρ(xc) = 0 and at least one λ equal to zero. The catastrophe theory formalism provides a mathematical tool to model ρ(x) in the neighbourhood of xc and allows one to rationalize the occurrence of instability in terms of electron‐density topology and Gibbs energy. The phase/state transitions that TiO2 (rutile structure), MgO (periclase structure) and Al2O3 (corundum structure) undergo because of pressure and/or temperature are here discussed. An agreement of 3–5% is observed between the theoretical model and experimental pressure/temperature of transformation.
