摘要

We provide experimental and theoretical evidence for a pressure-induced Mott insulator-metal transition in Fe 2 O 3 characterized by site-selective delocalization of the electrons. Density functional plus dynamical mean-field theory ( DFT + DMFT ) calculations, along with M?ssbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and?electrical transport measurements on Fe 2 O 3 up to 100?GPa, reveal this site-selective Mott transition?between 50 and 68?GPa, such that the metallization can be described by ( Fe 3 + HS VI ) 2 O 3 [ R 3 ˉ c structure ] → 50 GPa ( Fe 3 + HS VIII Fe VI M ) O 3 [ P 2 1 / n structure ] → 68 GPa ( Fe M VI ) 2 O 3 [ A b a 2 / P P v structure ] . Within the P 2 1 / n crystal structure, characterized by two distinct coordination sites (VI and VIII), we observe equal abundances of ferric ions ( Fe 3 + ) and ions having delocalized electrons ( Fe M ), and only at higher pressures is a fully metallic high-pressure structure obtained, all at room temperature. Thereby, the transition is characterized by delocalization/metallization of the 3 d electrons on half the Fe sites, with a site-dependent collapse of local moments. Above approximately 50?GPa, Fe 2 O 3 is a strongly correlated metal with reduced electron mobility (large band renormalizations) of m * / m ~ 4 and 6 near the Fermi level. Importantly, upon decompression, we observe a site-selective (metallic) to conventional Mott insulator phase transition ( Fe 3 + HS VIII Fe VI M ) O 3 → 50 GPa ( Fe 3 + HS VIII Fe VI 3 + HS ) O 3 within the same P 2 1 / n structure, indicating a decoupling of the electronic and lattice degrees of freedom. Our results offer a model for understanding insulator-metal transitions in correlated electron materials, showing that the interplay of electronic correlations and crystal structure may result in rather complex behavior of the electronic and magnetic states of such compounds.
