Abstract
Nonmagnetic FeNb3Se10 has been demonstrated to be an insulator at ambient pressure through both theoretical calculations and experimental measurements, and it does not host topological surface states. Here, we show that on the application of pressure, FeNb3Se10 transitions to a metallic state at around 3.0 GPa. With a further increase in pressure, its resistivity becomes independent of both temperature and pressure. Its crystal structure is maintained to at least 4.4 GPa.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
