A structural transformation from a cubic phase to a hexagonal phase is observed, which starts at 5.0 GPa and finishes at about 13.1 GPa. The phase transition leads to a volume collapse of 9.0% at 8.6 GPa. The hexagonal phase of Eu2 03 maintains stable up to the highest experiment pressure. After re/ease of pressure, the high-pressure phase transforms to a monoclinic phase. The pressure-volume data are fitted with the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The bulk moduli obtained upon compression from the fitting are 145（2） GPa and 151（6） OPa for the cubic and hexagonal phases, respectively, when their first pressure derivatives are fixed at 4.展开更多
