摘要

The bulk Bi_2Sr_2Co_2O_8 crystal is an insulator at low temperature and experiences an insulator-metal transition at T_c ≈ 60 K. The new experiment showed that T_C increases to 140 K for a mechanically exfoliated nanosheet of four blocks and is beyond room temperature for nanosheets thinner than four blocks. We show that the thickness-dependent insulator-metal transition observed in Bi_2Sr_2Co_2O_8 nanosheets can naturally be explained by the strongly correlated low-spin-state insulator (LS state) and intermediate-spin-low-spin-state metal (IS-LS state). In particular, the energy difference between the LS state and IS-LS state qualitatively reproduces the trend of the transition temperature with the nanosheet thickness. The predicted transition temperature of a nanosheet with three blocks is only slightly above room temperature, a result that can be used to check our proposed mechanism. Further experiments on the distinct magnetotransport properties and spin-fluctuation behaviors of the LS state and IS-LS state are also very helpful to resolve the issue. The weak interblock binding is also consistent with the layer-resolved partial densities of states.
