Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 189))

Abstract

In this chapter, an overview of the effects of pressure on the crystalline structure and physical properties of sulphur-based ordered-vacancy compounds of the \(\mathrm {A}^{\mathrm{{II}}} \mathrm {B}_{2}^{\mathrm{{III}}} \mathrm {X}_{4}^{\mathrm{{VI}}}\) family is presented. Recent X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy studies are presented with a main focus on the discussion of pressure-induced phase transitions and their inherent cation and cation-vacancy disordering processes.
