Pressure-induced insulating state in(La,Sr)CoO3

Abstract: We have investigated the effect of pressure on the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties on a single crystal of conducting, ferromagnet (T C ϭ157 K) La 0.82 Sr 0.18 CoO 3 located near the boundary of the metalinsulator transition. Contrary to the results reported on related systems, we find a transition from the conducting state to an insulating state and a decrease of T C with increasing pressure while the lattice structure remains unchanged. We show that this unusual behavior is driven by a gradual… Show more

“…Besides the magnetic behavior as mentioned above, another notable feature of cobaltite systems, which has also attracted interest, is the spin-state transition as a function of temperature and pressure t e ; S = 2) configurations often occur under the action of thermal excitation energy and pressure [4,5]. In the case of hole-doped cobaltites, R 1-x A′ x CoO 3 , the complexity of the system is further increased due to the additional presence of Co 4+ ions which are also able to exist in three spin-state configurations (LS, IS, and HS) [15].…”

“…Even a strain-induced transition from a magnetically ordered/electrically conducting to a nonmagnetic/insulating state is possible by changing the spin state of the magnetic ions. 83 Since previous experiments showed that changes of the magnetic anisotropy are the driving force behind the converse magnetoelectric effects in Fe 3 O 4 /BTO hybrids, 63 we neglect any strain-induced modification of the saturation magnetization M s and assume M s to be homogeneous throughout the Fe 3 O 4 thin film. In this approximation, the magnetization values M c and M a are described by M c = M s m c and M a = M s m a , respectively.…”

“…The rare-earth cobaltite LaCoO 3 exhibit unusual magnetic and electronic phase transitions, which can be tuned by changing the temperature, pressure [1][2][3][4][5][6] as well as with chemical substitutions at the La/Co site [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The 3d orbitals of the Co 3+ ion, surrounded with octahedrally coordinated O 2− ions, are split into the t 2g (triply degenerate) and the e g (doubly degenerate) orbitals in the lower and upper energy levels, respectively.…”
