新型带宽调制型Mott化合物的高压合成及其金属化相变

利用高温高压条件，制备了（SrCa）CrO3系列带宽可调型的钙钛矿Mort化合物。在10 GPa的外加压力下，观察到SrCrO3的绝缘体-金属化相变。原位高压x射线衍射实验表明，Sr／CaCrO3晶体结构在0-9 GPa压力范围内保持稳定。但SrCrO3在4 GPa时存在着电子结构变化所引起的等结构相变，表现为体弹性模量的反常软化。此外，由于电子关联效应，磁性和热输运性质的测试结果表明了材料的奇异电子态特征。

High-pressure synthesis and metallization of a new type of bandwidth-controlled Mott compounds

A series of bandwidth-controlled (SrCa)CrO3 Mott compounds with perovskite crystal structure were synthesized by using high pressure and high temperature conditions. An insulator-to-metal transition was observed in SrCrO3 at 10 GPa. In situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction shows that the crystal structures of Sr/CaCrO3 remain stable in the same pressure range, but there exists an isostructural phase transition as a result of the change of electronic structure in SrCrO3 at 4 GPa, accompanied by an unusual softening of bulk modulus. In addition, the magnetic and thermal transport properties indicate a strange electronic state, due to the strong correlated electron effects in these materials.
