Abstract: The structural transition of bulk and nano-size Gd2O3:Eu are studied by high pressure energy disperse x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high pressure photoluminescence. Our results show that in spite of different size of Gd2O3 particles, the cubic structure turns into a possible hexagonal one above 13.4GPa. When the pressure is released, the sample reverses to the monoclinic structure. No cubic structure presents in the released samples. That is to say, the compression and relaxation of the sample leads to the cubic Gd2O3:Eu then turns into the monoclinic one.
