Anomalous electronic state in CaCrO3 and SrCrO3.
Comprehensive measurements of electrical transport properties under pressure, thermal conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and room-temperature compressibility have been used to characterize SrCrO3 and CaCrO3 perovskites synthesized under high pressure. Comparison with other narrow-band perovskite oxides suggests that their anomalous physical properties are correlated with bond-length instabilities caused by the crossover from localized to itinerant electronic behavior.
