Notes:
The experiment under high pressure using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) requires the utilization of synchrotron radiation. High-pressure experiments were performed using a DAC on CdS microcrystals, both in the far-IR and in the X-ray regions, in order to study the lattice dynamics and lattice stability concerned with the phase transitions. From these experiments, experimental evidence is presented indicating that a CdS microcrystal of smaller diameter shows a higher transition pressure for lattice transformation under pressure. The origin of such an increase in the transition pressure in the microcrystals is discussed in relation to the surface tension.
