摘要:

用同步辐射X射线衍射方法研究了REMnO_3(RE= Y,Ho,Lu)在高压下的结构变化。压缩在ab平面比沿c轴更容易发生。在静水压力(~11 GPa)下,原子在单胞中的位置与环境分数近似,自发极化没有明显变化。随着压力的增加,观察到压力诱导六方晶系到正交相变开始于~ 22 GPa的Lu(Y)MnO 3。当压力增加到35 GPa时,少量体积分数的Lu(Y)MnO 3转化为正交相,并且在压力释放时保持正交相。高压红外吸收谱和Mn K边近边X射线吸收谱证实了六方P63 cm结构在~20 GPa以下是稳定的,Mn离子周围的环境没有改变。在Mn的K边谱中观察到未占据的p带态密度随压力的变化。给出了小离子REMnO_3体系的压力-温度相图。

英文摘要:

Structural changes in REMnO3 (RE= Y, Ho, Lu) under high pressure were examined by synchrotron x-ray diffraction methods at room temperature. Compression occurs more readily in the ab plane than along the c-axis. Under hydrostatic pressure (~11 GPa), the atoms hold their approximate ambient fractional positions in the unit cell and the spontaneous polarization shows no significant change. With increased pressure, a pressure-induced hexagonal to orthorhombic phase transition was observed starting at ~ 22GPa for Lu(Y)MnO3. A small volume fraction of Lu(Y)MnO3 is converted to the orthorhombic phase when the pressure is increased to 35 GPa and the orthorhombic phase is maintained on pressure release. High pressure IR absorption spectroscopy and Mn K-edge near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy confirm that the hexagonal P63cm structure is stable below ~20 GPa and the environment around Mn ion is not changed. Shifts in the unoccupied p-band density of states with pressure are observed in the Mn K-Edge spectra. A schematic pressure-temperature phase diagram is given for the small ion REMnO3 system.
