High-pressure structural behavior of large-void CoSn-type intermetallics: Experiments and first-principles calculations
The high-pressure structural behavior of the binary intermetallic compounds CoSn, FeSn, and NiIn with the peculiar void containing CoSn (B35)-type structure has been studied by means of room-temperature diamond anvil cell and high-temperature multianvil experiments, as well as by first-principles calculations. All three compounds remain structurally stable at pressures up to at least 25 GPa, where
