Crystal structure of a high-pressure/high-temperature phase of alumina by in situ X-ray diffraction

Abstract
Alumina (α-Al2O3) has been widely used as a pressure calibrant in static high-pressure experiments and as a window material in dynamic shock-wave experiments; it is also a model material in ceramic science. So understanding its high-pressure stability and physical properties is crucial for interpreting such experimental data, and for testing theoretical calculations.
