Topological doping of a three-dimensional Peierls system: Predicted structure of dopedBaBiO3

Abstract: At hole concentrations below x=0.4, Ba1−xKxBiO3 is non-metallic. At x = 0, pure BaBiO3 is a Peierls insulator. Very dilute holes create bipolaronic point defects in the Peierls order parameter. Here we find that the Rice-Sneddon version of Peierls theory predicts that more concentrated holes should form stacking faults (two-dimensional topological defects, called slices) in the Peierls order parameter. However, the long-range Coulomb interaction, left out of the RiceSneddon model, destabilizes slices in favor … Show more

“…At half filling, we find a bond disproportionated state that can be viewed as a lattice of localized bipolarons. Upon hole-doping, this state gives way to a polaron-liquid-like state with short-range correlations, consistent with proposals for nano-scale phase separation or strongly fluctuating lattice polarons in doped BKBO [52][53][54][55][56][57]. We also find s-wave superconducting tendencies, which primarily form on the oxygen sublattice.…”

“…The concept of bipolarons (local charge carrier pairs) has been later applied to BPB [200][201][202][203], Ba 1−x K x BiO 3−δ (BKB, T c ≤ 30 K [204,205]) [203,206,207] and cuprates [195,199,[208][209][210][211]. It was explicitly shown for BPB and BKB by Xray absorption spectroscopy [203] that bipolaronic states and CDWs coexist and compete, which might lead, in particular, to the observed nonmonotonic dependence T c (x) [212].…”

“…Based on transmission electron microscopy experiments, it appears that nanoscale regions of ordered distortions in BPBO tend to percolate into stripe-like formations 24 . This calls to mind predictions of 2D stacking "slices" of concentrated holes in BKBO 25 and strongly suggests that phase mixing is intrinsic to these materials in certain doping ranges. Overall, however, the ubiquity of structural phase mixing in superconducting bismuth oxides and its relationship to electronic structure and transport properties has remained unclear.…”
