Improved Dielectric Properties and Grain Boundary Effect of Phenanthrene Under High Pressure

In situ impedance measurements, Raman measurements and theoretical calculations were performed to investigate the electrical transport and vibrational properties of polycrystalline phenanthrene. Two phase transitions were observed in the Raman spectra at 2.3 and 5.9 GPa, while phenanthrene transform...
