Research Abstract

We have studied the mechanism of a metal-insulator (M-I) transition by the magnetic, transport and thermal measurements of YィイD21-xィエD2CaィイD2xィエD2TiOィイD23ィエD2 (x=0.3〜0.4) which exhibits inverse-Mott transition from a metallic state at low temperatures to a semiconducting one at high temperatures.
1. Crystal growth and characterization: We have developed the method of growth for YィイD21-xィエD2CaィイD2xィエD2TiOィイD23ィエD2 single crystals by using an image furnace. Oxygen contents of samples were determined by thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA) . The results of TGA was used to obtain the best conditions for annealing under flowing oxygen.
2. High-resolution photoemission spectroscopy : We have observed a clear M-I transition in the temperature-dependent photoemission spectra for x=0.39 consistent with transport measurements.
3. Spin-charge separation : In a M-1 transition region, the significant difference in temperature dependences exist between magnetic .susceptibility and electrical resistivity. For a sample in the ferromagnetic region (x=0.05), we have found the stability of an orbital-ordered state a-s for x=0 by spin-polarized neutron diffraction.
4. Future plans : Correlations among the charge , s pin and orbital in YィイD21-xィエD2CaィイD2xィエD2TiOィイD23ィエD2 will be studied by the X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation and the spin-polarized neutron diffraction.
