Extreme structural stability of Ti0.5Sn0.5O2 nanoparticles: synergistic effect in the cationic sublattice

Résumé

Ti0.5Sn0.5O2 nanoparticles (∼5 nm and ∼10 nm) have been studied under high pressure by Raman spectroscopy. For particles with diameter ∼10 nm, a transformation has been observed at 20–25 GPa while for particles with ∼5 nm diameter no phase transition has been observed up to ∼30 GPa. The Ti0.5Sn0.5O2 solid solution shows an extended stability at the nanoscale, both of its cationic and anionic sublattices. This ultrastability originates from the contribution of Ti and Sn mixing: Sn stabilizes the cationic network at high pressure and Ti ensures a coupling between the cationic and anionic sublattices. This result questions a “traditional” crystallographic description based on polyhedra packing and this synergistic effect reported in this work is similar to the case of metamaterials but at the nanoscale.
