摘要
By means of ultra-high resolution synchrotron diffraction and calorimetry measurements we have studied the metal-insulator transition in GdBaCo2O5.5. The appearance of the metallic state is attributed to a sudden excitation of some electrons in the octahedra (t(2g)(6) state) into the Co e(g) band (final t(2g)(4)e(g)(2) state). In contrast, the t(2g)(5)e(g)(1) state in the pyramids does not change at thetransition. Calorimetry measurements show that the insulator-to-metal transition is first order and the entropy change estimated from the latent heat corroborates the pictured scheme.
