Abstract

The evolution of crystal structure and the ground state properties of Fe2B and FeB have been studied by performing high pressure X-ray diffraction up to a pressure of ∼24 GPa and temperature dependent (4.2–300 K range) high-pressure resistivity measurements up to ∼ 2 GPa. While a pressure induced reversible structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic structure is observed at ∼6.3 GPa in Fe2B, FeB has been found to be stable in its orthorhombic phase up to the pressure of 24 GPa. In the case of Fe2B, both parent and daughter phases coexist beyond the transition pressure. The bulk modulus of FeB and Fe2B (tetragonal) have been found to be 248 GPa and 235 GPa respectively. First principle electronic structure calculations have been performed using the present experimental inputs and the calculated ground state properties agree quite well with the major findings of the experiments. Debye temperature extracted from the analysis of low temperature resistivity data is observed to decrease with pressure indicating softening of phonons in both the systems.
