Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A high‐pressure study</bold> of a synthetic smectite (Na‐fluorohectorite) immersed in liquid media was performed using in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell. A reversible phase transition because of the insertion of an additional water layer was observed for this material at 1.7 GPa. No similar transition was found when methanol was used as a pressure medium (see picture).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1x47kcrd" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
