摘要:

利用X射线衍射和Raman光谱研究了LaMn_(1-x)Ga_xO_3(x= 0.2,0.3,0.4)族三种典型化合物的JT畸变的压力效应。选择具有完全JT畸变结构(x=0.2)的化合物、具有规则八面体(x=0.6)的化合物和处于中间构型(x=0.3)的化合物。在所有样品中观察到从正交Pbnm相向具有更高对称性的结构的压力诱导转变。拉曼和X射线数据都证实了压力的最重要的结构效应是减少八面体畸变。还检测到与结构不稳定性相关的晶格参数行为中的特征的出现,指出JT畸变在稳定锰氧化物结构中的关键作用。另一方面,在高压阶段的JT失真的完全抑制不能声称。从更扭曲的化合物(x=0.2,0.3)收集的拉曼光谱清楚地揭示了在一定的压力范围内的扭曲和更规则的八面体域的共存。绘制了压力与Ga含量相图的第一张草图。

英文摘要:

The pressure effects on the JT distortion of three representative compounds belonging to the LaMn_1-xGa_xO_3 (x= 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) family was widely investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. A compound with a fully JT distorted structure (x=0.2), one with regular octahedra (x=0.6) and one in an intermediate configuration (x=0.3) were selected. A pressure induced transitions from the orthorhombic Pbnm phase towards structures with higher symmetry were observed in all the samples. Both Raman and X-ray data confirm that the most important structural effect of pressure is that of reducing the octahedral distortion. The appearance of a feature in the lattice parameter behavior connected to a structural instability was also detected, pointing out the key role of the JT distortion in stabilizing the manganite structures. On the other hand, the complete suppression of the JT distortion in the high-pressure phases cannot be claimed. The Raman spectra collected from more distorted compounds (x=0.2, 0.3) reveal clearly the coexistence of domains of distorted and more regular octahedra in a certain pressure range. The first sketch of the Pressure vs. Ga-content phase diagram was drawn.
