We have prepared single crystal of layered Mott-insulator FePS3 and investigated the pressure dependence of the electrical resistivity. FePS3 shows a metal-insulator transition between 10 and 11 GPa. In the insulating region, the activation energy increases continuously with decreasing the pressure and it is well extrapolated to the ambient pressure value. In the metallic region, the electrical resistivity is propotional to the square of the temperature within 50 to 100 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
