Abstract
The high pressure behaviour of TmTe and of EuO have been investigated up to pressures of 49 and 63 Cpa respectively, using the energy disper sive X-ray diffraction technique and synchrotron radiation. TmTe shows a phase transformation at 8 GPa to a possible tetragonal structure. A bove 35 GPa this structure undergoes a further distortion. EuO shows a normal compressibility curve leading up to an NaCl to CsCl type phase transition beginning at 47 GPa.
