摘要:

由于电子关联与原子结构间复杂的相互作用,金红石VO$_2$的金属-绝缘体转变(MIT)已被证明极难表征。我们报告在V$_{1-x}$Mo$_x$O$_2$低温相中,三维有序在$x=0.17$处突然坍塌,并在$x=0.19$处出现新型受挫二维有序,而电子性质仅有轻微变化。单晶漫散射X射线散射表明,从3D M1相到2D M2相变体的转变,导致沿四方金红石结构对称等效的(11L)平面存在长程结构关联,但垂直于这些平面的横向关联极短程。这些发现表明,这种二维性源于本质上属于结构起源的新型几何阻挫。

英文摘要:

The metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) in rutile VO$_2$ has proven uniquely difficult to characterize because of the complex interplay between electron correlations and atomic structure. Here we report the discovery of the sudden collapse of three-dimensional order in the low-temperature phase of V$_{1-x}$Mo$_x$O$_2$ at $x=0.17$ and the emergence of a novel frustrated two-dimensional order at $x=0.19$, with only a slight change in electronic properties. Single crystal diffuse x-ray scattering reveals that this transition from the 3D M1 phase to a 2D variant of the M2 phase results in long-range structural correlations along symmetry-equivalent (11L) planes of the tetragonal rutile structure, yet extremely short-range correlations transverse to these planes. These findings suggest that this two-dimensionality results from a novel form of geometric frustration that is essentially structural in origin.
