What Is Perovskite With A General Formula Of Reo3?
Paragraph 1
Perovskite, with a general formula of ABO3, has a structure comparable to that of ReO3. What differentiates them is the fact that ReO3 lacks the cation A at its unit cell centres. An octahedron made up of six oxygen atoms encompasses each rhenium atom, and it forms the 3-dimensional structure by connecting its corners with other octahedral. At low temperatures and a pressure of about 3kbar, the Fermi-surface cross sections undergo nonlinear patterns. ReO3 thus undergoes phase transitions with respect to changes in pressure, and this is also known as the “compressibility collapse”. At high pressures, the compressibility is about 10 times higher. The critical pressure Pc has been determined to be 2.4kbar at 2K and 5.0kbar at room

For example at 100MPa, the crystal structure is a cubic Pm3m with lattice parameter a=3.75A. At 520 MPa, ReO3 changes its structure to tetragonal P4/MBM with lattice parameter a=5.297A, c=3.742A. Φ indicates the rotation angle around the c axis, and it is 3.0o in this case. The crystal structure goes through another phase transition and becomes one that has a lattice parameter of a=7.49A when at 730MPa. At this point, Re-O-Re bond angles begins to bend. Increasing stress from 1285 MPa to 2740 MPa will not cause the crystal to go through another phase transition. Its structure stays the same, but its lattice parameter drops from 7.43A to 7.34A. This causes the Re-O-Re bond to bend even more, decreasing the bond length. Φ rises with respect to stress and reaches 14.0o at 2740MPa. The alterations in Re-O bond lengths and O-O distances across the ReO6 edges are minute over this range of pressure. The changes in structure are referred to as first order due to the fact that ReO6 rotates rigidly. Alterations in bond distances lead to said phase transitions and structural rotations. Since ReO6 has a relatively stable structure, it is taken that the ReO6 octahedral rotates rigidly. This gives rise to a positive strain in P4/mbm structure, while the high pressure gives rise to a negative strain, displayed by a slight distortion of the …show more content…
At about 5kPa, the Pm3m transitions to Im3. Singular trials show that tetragonal P4/mbm phase exists at 5kPa to 5.3kPa. As high pressures give rise to phase transitions, strains can be seen. Strains are classified under positive and negative. The ReO6 octahedron is partly responsible for the positive strain with its rigid body rotation along [100] or [111] axis with respect to pressure. The ReO6 octahedron similarly undergoes distortion that gives rise to negative strain, as the Re-O bond alters its length, along with the fact that the Re-O-Re bends. In order to differentiate the distortion and tilt of ReO6, simply take into account that rotation of ReO6 octahedron is responsible for the tilt while alterations in and bending of bond length contributes to distortion. ∅ is the rotation angle of ReO6 and is attained by measuring coordinates of oxygen atoms. P refers to the rotation angle, and it rises along with the rise in pressure, reaching 14.0 at 27.40kbar. P is affected by pressure as in the power law: ∅~(P-P_C)^β. ReO3 undergoes phase transitions with regards to alterations in pressure, thus displaying the giving rise of polymorphs. Phase transitions Pm3m-P4/mbm I4/mmm-Im3 are observed when 1, 2 or 3 M3 phonons undergo condensation. φ ̅=φe ̅ would be the primary order parameter for this phase transition, where φ refers to the degree of rotation angle and e ̅ refers to a
