Pressure-induced phase transition and phonon softening in h–Lu0.6Sc0.4FeO3
Abstract
We combine diamond anvil cell techniques, synchrotron-based infrared and Raman scattering spectroscopies, a symmetry analysis, and complementary lattice dynamics calculations to explore the pressure-driven phase transition in multiferroic h-Lu0.6Sc0.4FeO3. Comparison of the measured and predicted phonon patterns reveals a P63cm → P¯3c1 structural transition at 15 GPa. Furthermore, symmetry breaking across the polar → antipolar transition takes place via changes in the bipyramidal tilting direction and Lu/Sc displacement pattern, analogous to the strain driven K3 distortion pathway in h-LuFeO3 and temperature-induced transitions in the rare-earth manganites.
