Insulator-metal transition of highly compressed carbon disulfide

Journal Article Dias, Ranga P ; Yoo, Choong-Shik ; Kim, Minseob ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We present integrated spectral, structural, resistance, and theoretical evidences for simple molecular CS{sub 2} transformations to an insulating black polymer with threefold carbon atoms at 9 GPa, then to a semiconducting polymer above 30 GPa, and finally to a metallic solid above 50 GPa. The metallic phase is a highly disordered three-dimensional network structure with fourfold carbon atoms at the carbon-sulfur distance of {approx}1.70 {angstrom}. Based on first-principles calculations, we present two plausible structures for the metallic phase: {alpha}-chalcopyrite and tridymite, both of which exhibit metallic ground states and disordered diffraction features similar to that measured. We also present themore »« less

Tunable metal-insulator transition in Nd{sub 1−x}Y{sub x}NiO{sub 3} (x = 0.3, 0.4) perovskites thin film at near room temperature

Journal Article Shao, Tao ; Qi, Zeming ; Wang, Yuyin ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Metal-insulator transition (MIT) occurs due to the charge disproportionation and lattice distortions in rare-earth nickelates. Existing studies revealed that the MIT behavior of rare-earth nickelates is fairly sensitive to external stress/pressure, suggesting a viable route for MIT strain engineering. Unlike applying extrinsic strain, the MIT can also be modulated by through rare-earth cation mixing, which can be viewed as intrinsic quantum stress. We choose Nd{sub 1−X}Y{sub X}NiO{sub 3} (x = 0.3, 0.4) perovskites thin films as a prototype system to exhibit the tunable sharp MIT at near room temperature. By adjusting Y concentration, the transition temperature of the thin films can bemore »« less

Metal-insulator transition in Nd{sub 1−x}Eu{sub x}NiO{sub 3}: Entropy change and electronic delocalization

Journal Article Jardim, R. F., E-mail: rjardim@if.usp.br ; Andrade, S. ; Barbeta, V. B. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The metal-insulator (MI) phase transition in Nd{sub 1–x}Eu{sub x}NiO{sub 3}, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.35, has been investigated through the pressure dependence of the electrical resistivity ρ(P, T) and measurements of specific heat C{sub P}(T). The MI transition temperature (T{sub MI}) increases with increasing Eu substitution and decreases with increasing pressure. Two distinct regions for the Eu dependence of dT{sub MI}/dP were found: (i) for x ≤ 0.15, dT{sub MI}/dP is nearly constant and ∼−4.3 K/kbar; (ii) for x ≥ 0.15, dT{sub MI}/dP increases with x and it seems to reach a saturation value ∼−6.2 K/kbar for the x = 0.35 sample. This change is accompanied with a strong decrease in themore »« less

Pressure dependence of the metal-insulator transition in the charge-transfer oxides [ital R]NiO[sub 3] ([ital R]=Pr,Nd,Nd[sub 0. 7]La[sub 0. 3])

Journal Article Obradors, X ; Paulius, L M ; Maple, M B ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

We have investigated the pressure dependence (up to 20 kbar) of the metal-insulator (MI) transition displayed by the orthorhombic perovskites [ital R]NiO[sub 3] ([ital R]=Nd, Pr, and Nd[sub 0.7]La[sub 0.3]) by means of electrical resistance measurements. The transition temperature decreases under pressure, with a common rate of decrease of [ital dT][sub MI]/[ital dP]=[minus]4.2 K/kbar, in spite of differences in [ital T][sub MI] (100--200 K). On the basis of the structural effects associated with the application of pressure in these orthorhombic perovskites, we conclude that the metallic phase is stabilized by pressure because the bandwidth increases and hence the charge-transfer gapmore »« less

DC current induced metal-insulator transition in epitaxial Sm{sub 0.6}Nd{sub 0.4}NiO{sub 3}/LaAlO{sub 3} thin film

Journal Article Huang, Haoliang ; CAS Key Laboratory of Materials for Energy Conversion, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026 ; Luo, Zhenlin ; ... - AIP Advances

The metal-insulator transition (MIT) in strong correlated electron materials can be induced by external perturbation in forms of thermal, electrical, optical, or magnetic fields. We report on the DC current induced MIT in epitaxial Sm{sub 0.6}Nd{sub 0.4}NiO{sub 3} (SNNO) thin film deposited by pulsed laser deposition on (001)-LaAlO{sub 3} substrate. It was found that the MIT in SNNO film not only can be triggered by thermal, but also can be induced by DC current. The T{sub MI} of SNNO film decreases from 282 K to 200 K with the DC current density increasing from 0.003 × 10{sup 9} A•m{sup −2}more »« less
