5d过渡金属铱氧化物高压物性研究

In 5d transition metal iridium oxides, strong competition and cooperation between spin-orbit coupling and on-site Coulomb interaction drive rich physics. In this project, we will focus on some of intriguing phenomena, such as iridates tending to insulator at high pressures and displaying abnormal magneto-resistance under magnetic field. The Ruddlesden-Popper iridates Sr2IrO4 and Sr3Ir2O7 will be investigated by combining high pressure and high magnetic field, especially via electrical transport, Raman, and synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments under ultrahigh pressure above 100 GPa. Through this project, we will try to understand why iridates seldom metalize at high pressures, therefore construct the correlation between physical properties and structure. These experiments will also allow us to map out the field-pressure-temperature phase diagram for these materials. On the basis of realizing the metallization, exotic quantum states such as superconductivity will be explored. The implement of the project will be beneficial for understanding the interaction between spin-orbit coupling and on-site Coulomb repulsion.
