✦ Synopsis

Angle dispersive X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed in a diamond anvil cell using different pressure media and a large volume cell (Paris-Edinburgh cell) in order to determine the effect of pressure±temperature conditions on the high-pressure phase of the binary compound gallium antimonide GaSb. In particular, fine analysis of the diffraction patterns obtained at high pressure and/or temperature have clearly evidenced the importance of the pressure medium and of micro-strains which considerably modified the structure at high pressure.
