Metal-insulator transition in Ni-doped Na0.75CoO2: Insights from infrared studies

Abstract: Nickel substitution at the cobalt site in Na0.75CoO2 induces an upturn in the resistivity on lowering the temperature, with the metal-to-insulator transition temperature (T MIT ) increasing with the Ni content. Low temperature far infrared measurements on polycrystalline samples of Na 0.75 CoO 2 and Na 0.75 Co 0.95 Ni 0.05 O 2 , the latter having T MIT ∼ 175 K, have been carried out. Dramatic changes in the Na mode frequencies, and relative intensities of the out-of-plane modes corresponding to the two Na site… Show more

“…In the spectral area of 400 -600 cm −1 valence oscillations of Co-O appear. According to the literature, at 548 -570 cm −1 the absorption band of valence oscillations of Co (III)-O bond is fixed in the octahedron CoO 6 [38], and in the region 653 -663 cm −1 the band is responsible for oscillations of Co (II)-O bond in the tetrahedron CoO 4 . In the spectrum of compounds, the frequency range of 400 -600 cm −1 is overlapping with the characteristic CCTO absorption bands; therefore, Co (II)-O oscillations on their background are not reliably identified.…”

“…On the IR absorption spectra of the Na 0.89 Co 0.9 M 0.1 O 2 powders the absorption bands with extrema at 561-575 cm -1 were observed (Figure 1, lines 6-10), which correspond to the vibrations of (Co,M)-O bonds in the -[(Co,M)O 2 ]-layers of their crystal structure [25] as well as the absorption bands of Na 2 CoO 3 and Co 3 O 4 impurity phases, which are formed, as it was mentioned above, due to the partial degradation of the surface of the powders particles due to their interaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide. Values of absorption extrema of the samples studied were close each other; so, partial substitution of cobalt by other metals in Na 0.89 CoO 2 do not changed practically the energy of metal-oxygen interactions in its structure.…”

“…In addition to studies with varying Na stoichiometry, there have been studies (Premila et al 2006) on CoO 2 layer doping. Substitution of transition metals like Ni, Mn and Ir in place of cobalt induces a metal-to-insulator transition even for the smallest concentration.…”
