ABSTRACT The high-pressure behaviour of zinc sulphide, ZnS, has been investigated, using an in situ X-ray powder diffraction technique in a diamond anvil cell, at pressures and temperatures up to 35 GPa and 1000 K, respectively. The pressure-induced phase transition from a zincblende (B3) to a rocksalt (B1) structure was observed. This transition occurred at 13.4 GPa and at room temperature, and a negative dependence on temperature for this transition was confirmed. The transition boundary was determined to be P (GPa) = 14.4 − 0.0033 × T (K).
