Title: Probing the pathway of an ultrafast structural phase transition to illuminate the transition mechanism in Cu₂S

Abstract

Disentangling the primary order parameter from secondary order parameters in phase transitions is critical to the interpretation of transition mechanisms in strongly correlated systems and quantum materials. Here, we present a study of structural phase transition pathways in superionic Cu2S nanocrystals that exhibit intriguing properties. Utilizing ultrafast electron diffraction techniques sensitive to both the momentum-space and the time-domain, we distinguish the dynamics of crystal symmetry breaking and lattice expansion in this system. We are able to follow the transient states along the transition pathway, and so observe the dynamics of both the primary and secondary order parameters. Based on these observations, we argue that the mechanism of structural phase transition in Cu2S is dominated by the electron-phonon coupling. This mechanism advances the understanding from previous results, where the focus was solely on dynamic observations of the lattice expansion. Published by AIP Publishing.

Selective breakdown of phonon quasiparticles across superionic transition in CuCrSe₂

Journal Article Niedziela, Jennifer L. ; Bansal, Dipanshu ; May, Andrew F. ; ... - Nature Physics

Superionic crystals exhibit ionic mobilities comparable to liquids while maintaining a periodic crystalline lattice. The atomic dynamics leading to large ionic mobility have long been debated. A central question is whether phonon quasiparticles – which conduct heat in regular solids – survive in the superionic state, where a large fraction of the system exhibits liquid-like behavior. Here we present the results of energy and momentum-resolved scattering studies combined with first-principles calculations and show that in the superionic phase of CuCrSe2, long-wavelength acoustic phonons capable of heat conduction remain largely intact, while specific phonon quasiparticles dominated by the Cu ions breakmore »« less

High temperature crystal structures and superionic properties of SrCl{sub 2}, SrBr{sub 2}, BaCl{sub 2} and BaBr{sub 2}

Journal Article Hull, Stephen ; Norberg, Stefan T ; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-412 96 Gothenburg ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The structural properties of the binary alkaline-earth halides SrCl{sub 2}, SrBr{sub 2}, BaCl{sub 2} and BaBr{sub 2} have been investigated from ambient temperature up to close to their melting points, using the neutron powder diffraction technique. Fluorite-structured SrCl{sub 2} undergoes a gradual transition to a superionic phase at 900-1100 K, characterised by an increasing concentration of anion Frenkel defects. At a temperature of 920(3) K, the tetragonal phase of SrBr{sub 2} undergoes a first-order transition to a cubic fluorite phase. This high temperature phase shows the presence of extensive disorder within the anion sublattice, which differs from that found inmore »« less

Reversible structure manipulation by tuning carrier concentration in metastable Cu₂S

Journal Article Tao, Jing ; Chen, Jingyi ; Li, Jun ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Harnessing a material’s functionality in applications and for fundamental studies often requires direct manipulation of its crystal symmetry. Here, we manipulate the crystal structure of Cu₂S nanoparticles in a controlled and reversible fashion via variation of the electron dose rate, observed by transmission electron microscopy. Our control method is in contrast to conventional chemical doping, which is irreversible and often introduces unwanted lattice distortions. Our study sheds light on the much-debated question of whether a change in electronic structure can facilitate a change of crystal symmetry, or whether vice versa is always the case. Finally, we show that a minimalmore »« less

Neutron scattering study of the charge-density wave transitions in 2H-TaSe/sub 2/ and 2H-NbSe/sub 2/

Journal Article Moncton, D E ; Axe, J D ; DiSalvo, F J - Phys. Rev., B; (United States)

We have used the triple-axis neutron-scattering technique to study 2H-TaSe/sub 2/ and 2H-NbSe/sub 2/, which undergo charge-density wave transitions at T/sub 0/ = 122.3 and = 33.5 K, respectively. The transitions in both compounds appear to be second-order and involve atomic displacements of ..sigma../sub 1/ symmetry. At inception, the superlattices in both compounds have nearly identical incommensurate wave vectors with magnitude q/sub delta/ = 1/3(1-delta) a*, with delta approx. 0.02. The NbSe/sub 2/ superlattice remains incommensurate to 5 K, but TaSe/sub 2/ undergoes a first-order lock-in transition where delta ..-->.. 0 at 90 K.
