Effects of pressure on electron transport and atomic structure of manganites: Low to high pressure regimes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pressure dependence of the resistivity and structure of La0.60Y0.07Ca0.33MnO3 has been explored in the pressure range from 1 atm to ;7 GPa. The metal to insulator transition temperature (TMI) was found to reach a maximum and the resistivity achieves a minimum at ;3.8 GPa. Beyond this pressure, TMI is reduced with a concomitant increase in the resistivity. Structural measurements at room temperature show that at low pressure ~below 2 GPa! the Mn-O bond lengths are compressed. Between ;2 and ;4 GPa, a pressure-induced enhancement of the Jahn-Teller ~JT! distortion occurs in parallel with an increase in Mn-O1-Mn bond angle to ;180°. Above ;4 GPa, the Mn-O1-Mn bond angle is reduced, while the JT distortion appears to remain unchanged. The resistivity above TMI is well modeled by variable range hopping. The pressure dependence of the localization length follows the behavior of TMI .

Effects of Different Water and Super Plasticizer Amount, Pre-Setting and Curing Regimes on the Behavior of Reactive Powder Concrete
Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is an ultra high performance concrete which has superior mechanical and physical properties. The RPC is composed of cement and very fine powders such as crushed quartz (100–600 μm) and silica fume with very low water/binder ratio (W/B) (less than 0.20) and Super Plasticizer (SP). The RPC has a very high compressive and tensile strength with better durability prope...

The role of low-pressure RF plasma in the inactivation of Escherichia coli O157, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Enterobacter sakazakii using N2-O2 and SF6 gases was assessed. 1×109 colony-forming units (CFUs) of each bacterial isolate were placed on three polymer foils. The effects of pressure, power, distance from the source, and exposure time to plasma gases were optimized. The...

Large amounts of hydrocarbon reserves are trapped in naturally fractured reservoirs which arechallenging in terms of accurate recovery prediction because of their joint fabric complexity andlithological heterogeneity. Canada, for example, has over 400 billion barrels of crude oil in fracturedcarbonates in Alberta, most of this being bitumen of viscosity greater than 106 cP in the GrosmontFormat...
