Growth and transport properties under high pressure of PrOBiS2 single crystals
arXiv:1904.09402 · doi:10.1016/j.ssc.2019.04.007
Abstract
PrOBiS2 single crystals were successfully grown using a KCl flux. The obtained crystals had a plate-like shape with a typical size of 0.5-1.0 mm and well-developed ab-plane. The Pr valence of the grown crystals, as determined by an X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy analysis, was almost trivalent. The PrOBiS2 single crystals did not exhibit superconductivity down to 0.25 K. The transport properties under high pressures up to 50 GPa ensured semiconducting behavior for 2-300 K using a diamond anvil cell.
