The ratio of differential stress to shear modulus （t/G） is found to remain constant above -60GPa, indicating that the Ta starts to experience macro yield with plastic deformation at this pressure.Combined with independent constraints on the high-pressure shear modulus, we find that the Ta sample could support a differential stress of -4.67 GPa when it starts to yield with plastic deformation at -60 CPa under unlaxial compression. The differential stress in Ta ranges from 0.216 GPa to 4.67CPa with pressure increasing from 1 GPa to 60GPa and can be expressed as t=0.199（33）＋0.075（1）P, where P is the pressure in GPa. A maximum differential stress as high as -5.37 GPa can be supported by Ta at the high pressure of -80 GPa. In addition, we investigate the texture of Ta under nonhydrostatic compression to 80 GPa using the software package material analysis using diffraction. It is proven that the plastic deformation due to stress under high pressures is responsible for the development of texture.展开更多
