Popis: Compressional (VP) and shear (VS) wave velocities of high pressure (P) and temperature (T) sintered submicron hexagonal aluminum nitride (h-AlN) have been measured up to 15 GPa using ultrasonic interferometry. Using finite strain equation-of-state approaches, yielding KS0 = 293.1 ± 2.9 GPa, G0 = 141.9 ± 1.4 GPa and K′S = 3.72 ± 0.04, G′ = 0.52 ± 0.02. It is found that the Vickers hardness of submicron h-AlN is as high as 11.7 GPa, and its fracture toughness is up to ∼4.25 MPa m1/2. Meanwhile, based on the elastic wave velocities and density data, the elastic-related properties of h-AlN are derived as Debye temperature Θ0 = 1006 K, Gruneisen parameter γ = 1.72 and acoustic thermal conductivity λacoustic = 196 W/mK. These results may provide a comprehensive elasticity and elastic-related properties of submicron h-AlN under high pressure, which may be of great importance for its uses at extreme conditions.
