Abstract

X-ray total scattering and pair distribution function analysis have been used to investigate the structural changes in nano-crystalline mackinawite (FeS), with three distinct particle sizes, at high pressure. Nano-crystalline mackinawite undergoes an irreversible first-order phase transition at about 3 GPa from tetragonal mackinawite to orthorhombic FeS-II. The transition mechanism and the grain size effect on the transition pressure and the compressibility have been determined.
