ABSTRACT
We combine synchrotron-based infrared absorption and Raman scattering spectroscopies with diamond anvil cell techniques and first-principles calculations to explore the properties of hafnia under compression. We find that pressure drives HfO[Formula see text]7%Y from the mixed monoclinic ([Formula see text]) [Formula see text] antipolar orthorhombic ([Formula see text]) phase to pure antipolar orthorhombic ([Formula see text]) phase at approximately 6.3 GPa. This transformation is irreversible, meaning that upon release, the material is kinetically trapped in the [Formula see text] metastable state at 300 K. Compression also drives polar orthorhombic ([Formula see text]) hafnia into the tetragonal ([Formula see text]) phase, although the latter is not metastable upon release. These results are unified by an analysis of the energy landscape. The fact that pressure allows us to stabilize targeted metastable structures with less Y stabilizer is important to preserving the flat phonon band physics of pure HfO[Formula see text].
