Phase transitions of Mg2TiO4 and Fe2TiO4 were examined up to 28 GPa and 1600 °C using a multianvil apparatus. The quenched samples were examined by powder X-ray diffraction. With increasing pressure at high temperature, spinel-type Mg2TiO4 decomposes into MgO and ilmenite-type MgTiO3 which further transforms to perovskite-type MgTiO3. At ~21 GPa, the assemblage of MgTiO3 perovskite + MgO changes to 2MgO + TiO2 with baddeleyite (or orthorhombic I)-type structure. Fe2TiO4 undergoes transitions similar to Mg2TiO4 with pressure: spinel-type Fe2TiO4 dissociates into FeO and ilmenite-type FeTiO3 which transforms to perovskite-type FeTiO3. Both of MgTiO3 and FeTiO3 perovskites change to LiNbO3-type phases on release of pressure. In Fe2TiO4, however, perovskite-type FeTiO3 and FeO combine into calcium titanate-type Fe2TiO4 at ~15 GPa. The formation of calcium titanate-type Fe2TiO4 at high pressure may be explained by effects of crystal field stabilization and high spin–low spin transition in Fe2+ in the octahedral sites of calcium titanate-type Fe2TiO4. It is inferred from the determined phase relations that some of Fe2TiO4-rich titanomagnetite inclusions in diamonds recently found in Sao Luiz, Juina, Brazil, may be originally calcium titanate-type Fe2TiO4 at pressure above ~15 GPa in the transition zone or lower mantle and transformed to spinel-type in the upper mantle conditions.
