摘要:

负压缩性是开放或非平衡系统的热力学不稳定性的标志。在由多个相互耦合的子系统组成的量子材料中,如果一个子系统的压缩性被其他子系统的正压缩性抵消,则该子系统的压缩性可以是负的。到目前为止,这种效应的表现形式仅限于低维稀电子系统。在这里,我们提出的证据,从角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)的负电子压缩性(NEC)在准三维(3D)自旋轨道相关金属(Sr 1-xLax)3 Ir 2 O 7。电子填充的增加伴随着化学势的异常降低,如深价带的整体运动所示。这种异常,暗示NEC,被证明是主要由导带的能量降低,相关的带隙减少驱动。我们的发现指出了一个独特的途径,走向NEC的一个未知领域,具有独特的潜力,在低功率纳米电子和新型超材料的应用散装相关金属。

英文摘要:

Negative compressibility is a sign of thermodynamic instability of open or non-equilibrium systems. In quantum materials consisting of multiple mutually coupled subsystems, the compressibility of one subsystem can be negative if it is countered by positive compressibility of the others. Manifestations of this effect have so far been limited to low-dimensional dilute electron systems. Here we present evidence from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) for negative electronic compressibility (NEC) in the quasi-three-dimensional (3D) spin-orbit correlated metal (Sr1-xLax)3Ir2O7. Increased electron filling accompanies an anomalous decrease of the chemical potential, as indicated by the overall movement of the deep valence bands. Such anomaly, suggestive of NEC, is shown to be primarily driven by the lowering in energy of the conduction band as the correlated bandgap reduces. Our finding points to a distinct pathway towards an uncharted territory of NEC featuring bulk correlated metals with unique potential for applications in low-power nanoelectronics and novel metamaterials.
