Abstract

Using Brillouin scattering, we have investigated the room-temperature densification of hydrostatically compressed a-SiO2. Irreversible densification occurs in the range 10–25 GPa; at higher pressures (25–40 GPa) no further densification is observed. The densified state is found to be metastable and decreases in density over time spans of the order of years. The presence of large uniaxial stresses during compression is found to lead to a densified state which relaxes much more rapidly (∼ hours) towards the undensified state.

APS and the Physical Review Editorial Office Continue to Support Researchers

COVID-19 has impacted many institutions and organizations around the world, disrupting the progress of research. Through this difficult time APS and the Physical Review editorial office are fully equipped and actively working to support researchers by continuing to carry out all editorial and peer-review functions and publish research in the journals as well as minimizing disruption to journal access.

We appreciate your continued effort and commitment to helping advance science, and allowing us to publish the best physics journals in the world. And we hope you, and your loved ones, are staying safe and healthy.

Ways to Access APS Journal Articles Off-Campus

Many researchers now find themselves working away from their institutions and, thus, may have trouble accessing the Physical Review journals. To address this, we have been improving access via several different mechanisms. See Off-Campus Access to Physical Review for further instructions.
