Spin-state transition and metal-insulator transition inLa1−xEuxCoO3

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 by suppression of spin fluctuations

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...

Pressure-induced metal-insulator and spin-state transition in low-valence layered nickelates

Ab initio calculations predict a metal-insulator transition at zero temperature to occur in La4Ni3O8 at moderate pressures as a result of a pressure-induced spin-state transition. The spin-state transition that is seen at 105 K at ambient pressure, from a low-temperature high-spin state to a high-temperature low-spin state, has been observed to be shifted to lower temperatures as pressure is ap...
