Abstract

The pressure volume relation of ytterbium has been determined up to 9GPa using tungsten carbide opposed anvil high pressure x-ray camera. The fcc phase of ytterbium is observed between one atmosphere and 4GPa and the bcc phase above 3-5 GPa. The bcc phase can be metastably retained down to 1GPa by gradually decreasing the pressure from a region where only bcc phase alone is observed. The bulk modulus,B0, are determined by fitting murnaghan equation to the pressure volume data. The following values were obtained: Bo=16.3GPa and B0=3.6 for the suggested that the thermodynamic equilibrium pressure for fcc=bcc transformation in ytterbium is below 3-5GPa. The valence change under pressure has been discussed.
