Contactless basal plane resistivity measurements under pressure and the pressure/temperature phase diagram of stage 2 SbCl5 intercalated graphite

• The basal plane resistivity rho of stage 2 SbCl5 intercalated graphite has been measured as a function of temperature T and pressure p in the range 195-300K and 0-1.75 GPa, using a contactless method. rho is found to increase with increasing p. New evidence is found for the existence of the high-pressure (>1 GPa) phase suggested by Houser and co-workers (1984). The p/T phase boundaries for the low T(<230K) and intermediate p (>0.35 GPa) ordered phases are outlined. A re-analysis of previous results for stage 1 SbF5 intercalated graphite indicates a similar phase diagram for this material.
