摘要:

钙钛矿反铁磁($T_{\rm N}$ $\sim$ 220 K)绝缘体EuNiO $_3$在环境压力下经历金属到绝缘体的转变在$T_{\rm MI}$ = 460 K,这是与同时正交单斜畸变,导致电荷双斜。利用低温同步辐射角分辨X射线衍射和同步辐射$^{151}$ Eu核前向散射研究了EuNiO $_3$的结构和磁性随压力($\sim$ 20 GPa)的变化.随着压力的增加,我们发现,在$T_{\rm N}$($p$ $\leq$ 2 GPa)和$^{151}$ Eu核处的感应磁超精细场$B_{\rm hf}$($p$ $\leq$ 9.7 GPa)小幅增加后,$T_{\rm N}$和$B_{\rm hf}$均强烈减少,并最终在$p_{\rm c}$ $\cong$ 10.5 GPa时消失,表明在$p_{\rm c}$存在磁QCP。结构参数的分析,高达10.5 GPa的实验分辨率内的晶格对称性没有变化。由于压力引起的绝缘体-金属转变发生在$p_{\rm IM}$ $\cong$ 6 GPa,因此该结果意味着在6和10.5 GPa之间存在反铁磁金属态。我们进一步表明,从所报道的高压电阻数据的分析EuNiO $_3$在低温下,在QCP附近的系统表现为非费米液体,与电阻变化为$T^{\rm n}$,n=1.6,而它成为一个正常的费米液体,n = 2,为$\sim$ 15 GPa以上的压力。在所获得的数据的基础上,磁相图($p$,$T$)空间的建议。

英文摘要:

The perovskite antiferromagnetic ($T_{\rm N}$ $\sim$ 220 K) insulator EuNiO$_3$ undergoes at ambient pressure a metal-to-insulator transition at $T_{\rm MI}$ = 460 K which is associated with a simultaneous orthorhombic-to-monoclinic distortion, leading to charge disproportionation. We have investigated the change of the structural and magnetic properties of EuNiO$_3$ with pressure (up to $\sim$ 20 GPa) across its quantum critical point (QCP) using low-temperature synchrotron angle-resolved x-ray diffraction and $^{151}$Eu nuclear forward scattering of synchrotron radiation, respectively. With increasing pressure we find that after a small increase of $T_{\rm N}$ ($p$ $\leq$ 2 GPa) and the induced magnetic hyperfine field $B_{\rm hf}$ at the $^{151}$Eu nucleus ($p$ $\leq$ 9.7 GPa), both $T_{\rm N}$ and $B_{\rm hf}$ are strongly reduced and finally disappear at $p_{\rm c}$ $\cong$ 10.5 GPa, indicating a magnetic QCP at $p_{\rm c}$. The analysis of the structural parameters up to 10.5 GPa reveals no change of the lattice symmetry within the experimental resolution. Since the pressure-induced insulator-to-metal transition occurs at $p_{\rm IM}$ $\cong$ 6 GPa, this result implies the existence of an antiferromagnetic metallic state between 6 and 10.5 GPa. We further show from the analysis of the reported high pressure electrical resistance data on EuNiO$_3$ at low-temperatures that in the vicinity of the QCP the system behaves as non-Fermi-liquid, with the resistance changing as $T^{\rm n}$, with n=1.6, whereas it becomes a normal Fermi-liquid, n = 2, for pressures above $\sim$15 GPa. On the basis of the obtained data a magnetic phase diagram in the ($p$, $T$) space is suggested.
