Nd0.5Sr 0.5CoO3中尺寸相关的电子输运机制和磁电阻符号反转

Size-dependent electronic-transport mechanism and sign reversal of magnetoresistance in Nd0.5Sr0.5CoO3

S. Kundu, T. K. Nath

摘要:

详细研究了Nd0.5Sr0.5CoO3的电子输运性质随晶粒尺寸的变化规律,晶粒尺寸从微米级到28 nm。有趣的是,我们观察到的尺寸诱导的金属-绝缘体的转变,在最低的晶粒尺寸的样品,而散装样的样品是金属在整个测量的温度制度。在金属制度的温度依赖性的电阻率的分析表明,电子-电子相互作用是主要的机制,而其他过程,如电子-磁振子和电子-声子散射也可能存在。由于电子-电子相互作用(量子干涉效应),在晶粒尺寸减小的过程中,发现了增强的低温上升和电阻率最小值的迷人观察。这种效果是由于增强的无序减少晶粒尺寸。有趣的是,我们观察到的交叉从积极的负磁阻在低温制度的晶粒尺寸减小。这种观察到的符号反转归因于在减小钴矿的晶粒尺寸时增强的相分离。

英文摘要:

A detailed investigation of electronic-transport properties of Nd0.5Sr0.5CoO3 has been carried out as a function of grain size ranging from micrometer order down to an average size of 28 nm. Interestingly, we observe a size induced metal-insulator transition in the lowest grain size sample while the bulk-like sample is metallic in the whole measured temperature regime. An analysis of the temperature dependent resistivity in the metallic regime reveals that the electron-electron interaction is the dominating mechanism while other processes like electron-magnon and electron-phonon scatterings are also likely to be present. The fascinating observation of enhanced low temperature upturn and minimum in resistivity on reduction of grain size is found due to electron-electron interaction (quantum interference effect). This effect is attributed to enhanced disorder on reduction of grain size. Interestingly, we observed a cross over from positive to negative magnetoresistance in the low temperature regime as the grain size is reduced. This observed sign reversal is attributed to enhanced phase separation on decreasing the grain size of the cobaltite.
