Abstract

The structural transformations in the II-VI compound MgSe have been studied under pressure using energy dispersive x-ray diffraction. MgSe transforms ‘continuously’ from the rocksalt (Bl) structure to a FeSi (B28) or Au-Be structure beginning at 99 ± 8 GPa. At 202 GPa, MgSe is approaching 7-fold coordination with u = 0.0828 and w = 0.4173. The method for intensity calculation of the diffraction peaks is presented. Using the Birch equation, the equation of state to 146 GPa was determined with Bo = 62.8 + 1.6 GPa and Bo′ = 4.1.
