摘要:
Single crystals of the metallic Ruddlesden-Popper trilayer nickelates R4Ni3O10 (R = La, Pr) were successfully
grown using an optical-image floating zone furnace under oxygen pressure (pO2) of 20 bar for La4 Ni3O10
and 140 bar for Pr4Ni3O10. A combination of synchrotron and laboratory x-ray single-crystal diffraction,
high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction and measurements of physical properties revealed that
R4Ni3O10 (R = La, Pr) crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/a (Z = 2) space group at room temperature, and
that a metastable orthorhombic phase (Bmab) can be trapped by postgrowth rapid cooling. Both La4Ni3O10
and Pr4Ni3O10 crystals undergo a metal-to-metal transition (MMT) below room temperature. In the case of
Pr4Ni3O10, the MMT is found at 157.6 K. For La4Ni3O10, the MMT depends on the lattice symmetry: 147.5
K for Bmab vs 138.6 K for P21/a. Lattice anomalies were found at the MMT that, when considered together
with the pronounced dependence of the transition temperature on subtle structural differences between Bmab
and P21/a phases, demonstrate a not insignificant coupling between electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in
these trilayer nickelates.
