Pressure-induced transition from a charge-disproportionated antiferromagnetic state to a charge-uniform ferromagnetic

Abstract:
The perovskite oxide Sr(2/3)La(1/3)FeO3 has been found to switch its electronic ground state drastically at 23 GPa through measurements of 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction up to 56 GPa. In the low-pressure region a first-order transition from a charge-uniform paramagnetic metallic phase to a charge-disproportionated (3Fe(11/3+)-->2Fe(3+)+Fe5+) antiferromagnetic insulating phase occurs at 207 K at 0.1 MPa and 165 K at 21 GPa, typically. Above 25 GPa, however, a charge-uniform ferromagnetic (and most probably metallic) phase persists below 300 K. This switching occurs at a lattice volume of V(23 GPa)/V(0)(0.1 MPa) = 0.89.

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
