Abstract
We present a study on the phase stability of dense carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) at extreme pressure-temperature conditions, up to 6200 K within the pressure range 37±9 to 106±17 GPa. The investigations of high-pressure high-temperature in situ x-ray diffraction patterns recorded from laser-heated CO_{2}, as densified in diamond-anvil cells, consistently reproduced the exclusive formation of polymeric tetragonal CO_{2}-V at any condition achieved in repetitive laser-heating cycles. Using well-considered experimental arrangements, which prevent reactions with metal components of the pressure cells, annealing through laser heating was extended individually up to approximately 40 min per cycle in order to keep track of upcoming instabilities and changes with time. The results clearly exclude any decomposition of CO_{2}-V into the elements as previously suggested. Alterations of the Bragg peak distribution on Debye-Scherrer rings indicate grain coarsening at temperatures >4000 K, giving a glimpse of the possible extension of the stability of the polymeric solid phase.

Abstract
The experimental study of the CO_{2} phase diagram is hampered by strong kinetic effects leading to wide regions of metastability and to large uncertainties in the location of some phase boundaries. Here, we determine CO_{2}'s thermodynamic phase boundaries by means of ab initio calculations of the Gibbs free energy of several solid phases of CO_{2} up to 50 Gigapascals. Temperature effects are included in the quasiharmonic approximation. Contrary to previous suggestions, we find that the boundary between molecular forms and the nonmolecular phase V has, indeed, a positive slope and starts at 21.5 GPa at T=0 K. A triple point between phase IV, V, and the liquid phase is found at 35 GPa and 1600 K, indicating a broader region of stability for the nonmolecular form than previously thought. The experimentally determined boundary line between CO_{2}-II and CO_{2}-IV phases is reproduced by our calculations, indicating that kinetic effects do not play a major role in that particular transition. Our results also show that CO_{2}-III is stabilized at high temperature and its stability region coincides with the P-T conditions where phase VII has been reported experimentally; instead, phase II is the most stable molecular phase at low temperatures, extending its region of stability to every P-T condition where phase III is reported experimentally.

Abstract
A notorious challenge in high-pressure science is to develop an equation of state (EOS) that explicitly treats chemical reactions. For instance, many materials tend to dissociate at high pressures and temperatures where the chemical bonds that hold them together break down. We present an EOS for carbon dioxide (CO2) that allows for dissociation and captures the key material behavior in a wide range of pressure-temperature conditions. Carbon dioxide is an ideal prototype for the development of a wide-ranging EOS that allows for chemical-dissociation equilibria since it is one of the simplest polyatomic systems and because it is of great interest in planetary science and in the study of detonations. Here, we show that taking dissociation into account significantly improves the accuracy of the resulting EOS compared to other EOSs that either neglect chemistry completely or treat CO2 dissociation in a more rudimentary way.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide is a widespread simple molecule in the Universe. In spite of its simplicity it has a very complex phase diagram, forming both amorphous and crystalline extended phases above 40 GPa. The stability range and nature of these phases are still debated, especially in view of their possible role within the deep carbon cycle. Here, we report static synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman high-pressure experiments in the megabar range providing evidence for the stability of the polymeric phase V at pressure-temperature conditions relevant to the Earth's lowermost mantle. The equation of state has been extended to 120 GPa and, contrary to earlier experimental findings, neither dissociation into diamond and ε-oxygen nor ionization was observed. Severe deviatoric stress and lattice deformation along with preferred orientation are removed on progressive annealing, thus suggesting CO2-V as the stable structure also above one megabar.

Abstract
The structure of polymeric carbon dioxide (CO2-V) has been solved using synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, and its evolution followed from 8 to 65 GPa. We compare the experimental results obtained for a 100% CO2 sample and a 1 mol % CO2/He sample. The latter allows us to produce the polymer in a pure form and study its compressibility under hydrostatic conditions. The high quality of the x-ray data enables us to solve the structure directly from experiments. The latter is isomorphic to the β-cristobalite phase of SiO2 with the space group I42d. Carbon and oxygen atoms are arranged in CO4 tetrahedral units linked by oxygen atoms at the corners. The bulk modulus determined under hydrostatic conditions, B0=136(10) GPa, is much smaller than previously reported. The comparison of our experimental findings with theoretical calculations performed in the present and previous studies shows that density functional theory very well describes polymeric CO2.

Abstract
Non molecular CO(2) has been an important subject of study in high pressure physics and chemistry for the past decade opening up a unique area of carbon chemistry. The phase diagram of CO(2) includes several non molecular phases above 30 GPa. Among these, the first discovered was CO(2)-V which appeared silica-like. Theoretical studies suggested that the structure of CO(2)-V is related to that of β-cristobalite with tetrahedral carbon coordination similar to silicon in SiO(2), but reported experimental structural studies have been controversial. We have investigated CO(2)-V obtained from molecular CO(2) at 40-50 GPa and T > 1500 K using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, and computer simulations. The structure refined by the Rietveld method is a partially collapsed variant of SiO(2) β-cristobalite, space group I42d, in which the CO(4) tetrahedra are tilted by 38.4° about the c-axis. The existence of CO(4) tetrahedra (average O-C-O angle of 109.5°) is thus confirmed. The results add to the knowledge of carbon chemistry with mineral phases similar to SiO(2) and potential implications for Earth and planetary interiors.
