Cubic rare-earth A2B2O7 oxides, with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition metal or main block element, have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic properties. In this work, we focus on the application of high pressure to tune the electronic and magnetic properties tied with the geometric frustration present within the cubic pyrochlore structure, and to study the stability of the pyrochlore and defect fluorite structures.
With this goal in mind, we focus mainly on iridate (A2Ir2O7) and zirconate (A2Zr2O7) oxides.
