Abstract | The effect of pressure on the electronic properties and crystal structure in amixed spinel ferrite Zn0.2Mg0.8Fe2O4 was studied for the first time up to 48 GPa at room temperature using x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and electrical transport measurements. The sample was cubic (spinel-type Fd (3) over bar 3m) at ambient pressure and underwent a pressure-induced structural transition to an orthorhombic phase (CaTi2O4-type Bbmm) at 21GPa. This structural transformation corresponded to a first-order phase transition that involved 7.5% molar volume shrinkage. The onset of the Mott insulator-metal transition (IMT) around 20 GPa was due to a spin crossover mechanism that led to the Fe3+ magnetic moment collapse. All the Raman modes disappeared at high pressures, which supported metallization. Analysis of structural and electrical transport measurements showed a simultaneous volume collapse and sharp IMT within a narrow pressure range. The orthorhombic high-pressure phase was found to have a higher conductivity than the cubic phase. The pressure dependence of the conductivity supported the metallic behavior of the high-pressure phase. |
