Pressure-induced structural transition in LuFe2O4: towards a new charge ordered state.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electronic ferroelectric lutetium ferrite (LuFe(2)O(4)) was studied by x-ray diffraction as a function of pressure. Pressure is shown to induce an irreversible rhombohedral to orthorhombic transition leading to a supercell determined by the combination of electron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. This new configuration is proposed to be charge ordered in agreement with the results of resistivity measurements.

Charge order in LuFe2O4: an unlikely route to ferroelectricity.
We present the refinement of the crystal structure of charge-ordered LuFe2O4, based on single-crystal x-ray diffraction data. The arrangement of the different Fe-valence states, determined with bond-valence-sum analysis, corresponds to a stacking of charged Fe bilayers, in contrast with the polar bilayers previously suggested. This arrangement is supported by an analysis of x-ray magnetic circu...
متن کاملProbing the Interplay between Quantum Charge Fluctuations and Magnetic Ordering in LuFe2O4
The mechanisms producing strong coupling between electric and magnetic order in multiferroics are not always well understood, since their microscopic origins can be quite different. Hence, gaining a deeper understanding of magnetoelectric coupling in these materials is the key to their rational design. Here, we use ultrafast optical spectroscopy to show that the influence of magnetic ordering o...

The metallic state of the molecular conductor β-(meso-DMBEDT-TTF)2X (DMBEDT-TTF = 2-(5,6-dihydro-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiin-2-ylidene)-5,6-dihydro5,6-dimethyl-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiin, X = PF6, AsF6) is transformed into the checkerboard-type charge-ordered state at around 75–80 K with accompanying metalinsulator (MI) transition on the anisotropic triangular lattice. With lowering te...
متن کاملIntermetallic charge transfer between A-site Cu and B-site Fe in A-site-ordered double perovskites
In this review article, we describe in detail the temperature-induced intermetallic charge transfer between A-site Cu and B-site Fe ions in the A-site-ordered double perovskites RCu3Fe4O12 (R = La, Bi). In these compounds, a very rare Cu valence state at the square-planar-coordinated A sites was stabilized by high-pressure synthesis. By increasing the temperature, a Cu–Fe intermetallic charge t...

Nonlinear transport behaviors are crucial for applications in electronic technology. At the nonlinear critical turning point, the nonequilibrium states cause rich physics responses to environment. The corresponding study in this field is crucial for physics and industry application. Here nonlinear conductivity in charge-ordered (CO) LuFe(2)O(4 )has been demonstrated. Remarkable resistivity swit...
