Structural Phase Transition Accompanied by Metal - Insulator Transition in PrRu4P12

A structural phase transition has been found using electron diffraction technique in PrRu4P12 accompanied by a metal insulator (M I) transition (TMI = 60K). Weak superlattice spots appeared at (H, K, L) (H + K + L = 2n + 1; n is an integer) position at a temperature of T = 12 K and 40 K. Above T = 70 K, the spots completely vanished. The space group of the low temperature phase is probably Pm 3...

Metal Insulator Transition

Metal Insulator transition(MIT) is characterized by the conductivity which will be zero in the insulator phase. In this term paper, we focus on Mott insulator, and a simple theoritical way to describe this MIT is the Hubbard Model .Finally, we will look at the experiments of Mott insulator transition .

Spin valve effect across the metal-insulator transition in V2O3

The magnetoresistance of Ni/V2O3/Py devices shows interesting behavior in the temperature dependence across the V2O3 metal-insulator transition. A spin-valve effect ( 0.1%) is found below the transition temperature when V2O3 is in the insulating phase. Contrary to expectation, the spin-valve effect disappears when device is heated above 150 K and V2O3 is in the metallic state. At these temperat...

Metal-insulator Transition (scaling Theory)

In this paper I brieey discuss the concepts of localization and metal-insulator transition. The phenomenological description of the conducting properties depending on the dimensionality and disorder, and the physical arguments for the scaling-function are presented. The conducting properties of the 3D system near the critical point of the metal-insulator transition predicted by this scaling mod...
