Abstract
An in situ synchrotron powder X ray diffraction study on (Fe0.89,Ni0.11)3S was conducted up to 141 GPa and 1590 K. (Fe0.89,Ni0.11)3S has a tetragonal structure, which is the same structure as Ni-free Fe3S. Fitting a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state to data at ambient temperature yielded a bulk modulus of K0 = 138.1(7.2) GPa and its pressure derivative K0' = 4.5(3) with a zero pressure volume V0 = 375.67(4) Å3.
