  • Abstract
    X-ray in situ studies in electrically and laser-heated diamond anvil cells (DACs) at pressures over 80 GPa and temperatures above 2500 K were used to determine stable silica phase at extreme conditions. We demonstrate that so far unidentified phases obtained on the compression of α-cristobalite, new dense silica polymorph in the Martian Shergotty meteorite, and controversial post-stishovite phase is α-PbO2-like silica.
