Abstract
The Mossbauer isomer shift (IS) in elemental 129I was measured as a function of pressure to 30 GPa unsing diamond anvil cells. The IS increases gradually with pressure reaching a value of ΔIS = 0.56(3) mm sec-1 at P > 16 GPa. No discontinuity was observed at P = 21 GPa where a crystallographic phase transition has been reported. Using the experimental V(P) relation, the IS dependence on -ℓnV was found to be linear to the highest pressure. The dρ{variant}(0) dℓnV value for elemental I2 was found to be -6.6(2) a-30. The volume dependence of the p-holes is deduced resulting in a 5s25p4.62 configuration at the highest pressure. The systematics of dρ{variant}(0) dℓnV for the 5sp elements from βSn to Xe are discussed.
