薄膜锰氧化物中竞争的“软”介电相和细致平衡

Competing `soft' dielectric phases and detailed balance in thin film manganites

Patrick R. Mickel, Amlan Biswas, Arthur F. Hebard

摘要:

使用频率相关的复电容测量薄膜的混合价锰氧化物(La $_{1-y}$ Pr $_{y}$)$_{1-x}$ Ca $_{x}$ MnO $_{3}$,我们确定和解决的个人的介电响应的两个竞争的介电相。我们描述了它们在一个大的温度范围内的竞争,揭示了它们在空间和时间上的动态竞争。相竞争被证明是受热力学约束所施加的细致平衡。细致平衡模型的结果有力地支持了“电子软”材料的概念,其中具有可比自由能的介电相之间的连续转换发生在与电子-声子散射时间相比较长的时间尺度上。

英文摘要:

Using frequency dependent complex capacitance measurements on thin films of the mixed-valence manganite (La$_{1-y}$Pr$_{y}$)$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$, we identify and resolve the individual dielectric responses of two competing dielectric phases. We characterize their competition over a large temperature range, revealing they are in dynamic competition both spatially and temporally. The phase competition is shown to be governed by the thermodynamic constraints imposed by detailed balance. The consequences of the detailed balance model strongly support the notion of an `electronically soft' material in which continuous conversions between dielectric phases with comparable free energies occur on time scales that are long compared with electron-phonon scattering times.
