Phase Transition Behavior of LiCr 0.35 Mn0.65O2 under High Pressure by Electrical Conductivity Measurement

The electrical conductivity of powdered LiCr 0.35 Mn0.65O2 is measured under high pressure up to 26.22 GPa in the temperature range 300-413 K by using a diamond anvil cell. It is found that both conductivity and activation enthalpy change discontinuously at 5.36 GPa and 21.66 GPa. In the pressure range 1.10-5.36 GPa, pressure increases the activation enthalpy and reduces the carrier scattering, which finally leads to the conductivity increase. In the pressure ranges 6.32-21.66 GPa and 22.60-26.22 GPa, the activation enthalpy decreases with pressure increasing, which has a positive contribution to electrical conductivity increase. Two pressure-induced structural phase transitions are found by in-situ x-ray diffraction under high pressure, which results in the discontinuous changes of conductivity and activation enthalpy.     

High pressure electrical transport behavior in SrF_2 nanoplates

The charge transport behavior of strontium fluoride nanocrystals has been investigated by in situ impedance measurement up to 35 GPa.It was found that the parameters changed discontinuously at each phase transition.The charge carriers in SrF_2 nanocrystals include both F~-ions and electrons.In the Fm3 m phase,pressure makes the electronic transport easier,while makes it more difficult in the Pnma phase.The defects at grain boundaries dominate the electronic transport process.Pressure could make the charge-discharge processes in the Fm3 m phase much easier,but make it more difficult in the Pnma phase.     

CaF2纳米晶粒结构相变行为的尺寸依赖性（英文）

利用原位高压同步辐射X射线衍射方法,对尺寸为11 nm的CaF₂纳米晶粒进行高压结构相变和压缩特性研究。当压力为12 GPa时,观察到由萤石结构向α-PbCl₂结构转变的一次相变,该相变压力点远高于体材料,但略低于粒径更小的CaF₂纳米晶体。相比体材料,纳米尺寸的CaF₂样品的体弹模量更大,说明其更难被压缩。当压力释放至常压时,11 nm的CaF₂纳米晶粒的α-PbCl₂型亚稳相结构被保留下来,相变不可逆。分析了影响11 nm CaF₂纳米晶粒独特高压行为的原因,判定尺寸效应为主要因素,该尺寸下较高的表面能导致结构稳定性增强和体积模量增加。     

DAC垫片孔侧壁绝缘程度对电导率测量结果的影响

通过有限元方法,计算了DAC内垫片孔侧壁与样品发生不同程度短路的情况下,范德堡法测量样品电阻率的相对误差. 发现垫片孔侧壁与样品短路面积小于20％时,相对误差可以控制在10％以内. 而当短路面积超过25％时,相对误差迅速增大. 研究中还发现,电极越靠近样品边缘,相对误差越小.     

Transport properties of mixing conduction in CaF_2 nanocrystals under high pressure

We report on the intriguing electrical transport properties of compressed CaF_2 nanocrystals. The diffusion coefficient,grain and grain boundary resistances vary abnormally at about 14.37 GPa and 20.91 GPa, corresponding to the beginning and completion of the Fm3m-Pnma structural transition. Electron conduction and ion conduction coexist in the transport process and the electron conduction is dominant. The electron transference number of the Fm3m and Pnma phases increases with pressure increasing. As the pressure rises, the F~- ion diffusion and electronic transport processes in the Fm3m and Pnma phases become more difficult. Defects at grains play a dominant role in the electronic transport process.     

利用金属垫片做为电极在金刚石对顶砧上精确测量样品电导率的研究

利用传统的四电极方法在金刚石对顶砧（DAC）上进行原位的样品电导率测量时,如果金属垫片样品孔内壁不能完全绝缘,测量结果将会存在很大的误差.为避免该实验误差的产生,作者提出了用双电极模型进行电导率测量的方法,即在DAC砧面上制备一个圆形测量电极的同时,将金属垫片样品孔的内壁做为第二个测量电极,并利用有限差分方法对电导率进行计算.通过这种方式,由金属垫片不绝缘而产生很大测量误差的问题得以解决.实验结果表明测量相对误差被控制在7％以下.
