Cu(Ir1 − xCrx)2S4: a model system for studying nanoscale phase coexistence at the metal-insulator transition
Increasingly, nanoscale phase coexistence and hidden broken symmetry states are being found in the vicinity of metal-insulator transitions (MIT), for example, in high temperature superconductors, heavy fermion and colossal magnetoresistive materials, but their importance and possible role in the MIT and related emergent behaviors is not understood. Despite their ubiquity, they are hard to study...
متن کاملStriped nanoscale phase separation at the metal–insulator transition of heteroepitaxial nickelates
Nucleation processes of mixed-phase states are an intrinsic characteristic of first-order phase transitions, typically related to local symmetry breaking. Direct observation of emerging mixed-phase regions in materials showing a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) offers unique opportunities to uncover their driving mechanism. Using photoemission electron microscopy, we image the nanos...
متن کاملMetal-insulator Phase Transition in Vo2
-The effects of doping and uniaxial stress on the structural and magnetic properties of V02 are reviewed. Important electron-electron correlation effects are deduced : (i) in the metallic phase from the results obtained in V I ~ N ~ ~ O ~ alloys, (ii) in the insulating phases of pure V02 at ambiant pressure (MI), under uniaxial stress or in the presence of Cr impurities (T and M2). Discovered i...
متن کاملA size-dependent nanoscale metal-insulator transition in random materials.
Insulators and conductors with periodic structures can be readily distinguished, because they have different band structures, but the differences between insulators and conductors with random structures are more subtle. In 1958, Anderson provided a straightforward criterion for distinguishing between random insulators and conductors, based on the 'diffusion' distance ζ for electrons at 0 K (ref...
متن کاملCritical fidelity at the metal-insulator transition.
Using a Wigner Lorentzian random matrix ensemble, we study the fidelity, F(t), of systems at the Anderson metal-insulator transition, subject to small perturbations that preserve the criticality. We find that there are three decay regimes as perturbation strength increases: the first two are associated with a Gaussian and an exponential decay, respectively, and can be described using linear res...
