Popis: A study of the phase diagram of thulium, ytterbium, and lutecium disilicates Ln2Si2O7 in the ranges 0–70 kbar and 20–1600°C shows the extended polymorphism under high pressure of these compounds of which only one form was previously known at ambient pressure. The monoclinic D form appears at temperatures much lower than for the neighboring members of the series and its stability field is restricted to a rather narrow pressure interval around 20 kbar. The triclinic B form appears at pressures which increase from 20 to 40 kbar from Tm to Lu. A new tetragonal X form so far unknown in the disilicate series and isostructural with Er2Ge2O7 is obtained for the three compounds. Compared to the B form it is a low temperature, low pressure form. The crystal data of the nine high pressure phases are given.
