摘要
We report that the first-order metal-insulator (MI) transition in perovskite ruthenate Ca2RuO4 can be tuned to a nearly second order transition with the transition temperature close to room temperature via Sr, Ti, and Fe chemical doping. The resistivity near this transition ranges from 10(-2) - 10(-1) Omega-cm. The maximum temperature coefficient of resistance TCR(= -(1/R)dR/dT near the transition exceeds 0.4K(-1). This MI transition can also be tuned by a relatively small bias-current. These properties suggest that doped calcium ruthenates can be considered an alternative material for improving upon existing bolometric technologies. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
