The invention discloses an LnCu3 (OH) 6Cl3 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Gd) amorphous material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of high-pressure regulation and control. Pure LnCu3 (OH) 6Cl3 (Ln = Nd, Eu and Gd)
crystal powder of a quasi-two-dimensional structure with a
space group of P-3m1 is used as an initial
raw material, a symmetric
diamond anvil
cell press is used for pressurizing, the
diameter of the anvil surface of the
diamond is 500 microns, the pressure is calibrated by adopting a ruby
fluorescence pressure calibration technology, the novel quasi-two-dimensional layered amorphous material is obtained, the material composition meets the stoichiometric ratio of Ln: Cu: OH: Cl = 1: 3: 6: 3, and the
crystal powder is used for preparing the quasi-two-dimensional layered amorphous material. In-layer atoms are arranged in a long-range disordered manner, and inter-layer atoms are arranged in an ordered one-dimensional stacking manner. The metastable-phase material obtained by a high-pressure technology can stably exist when the pressure is released to normal pressure, the components and the
layered structure of the material are kept unchanged before and after
phase change, and the spatial arrangement of atoms in the layer is long-range disorder after
phase change. According to the method, the novel LnCu3 (OH) 6Cl3 (Ln = Nd, Eu and Gd) amorphous material which can stably exist under normal pressure is obtained by utilizing a high-pressure method for the first time, and deep understanding of the structure and physical properties of the amorphous material is promoted.
