Abstract

High-pressure resistivity and X-ray diffraction measurements were conducted on La_0.85MnO_3-δ at ∼6 and ∼7 GPa, respectively. At low pressures the metalinsulator transition temperature (T _MI) increases linearly up to a critical pressure, P ^(*) ∼3.4 GPa, followed by reduction in T_MI at higher pressure. Analysis of the bond distances and bond angles reveals that a bandwidth increase drives the increase in T_MI below P ^(*). The reduction in T_MI at higher pressures is found to result from JahnTeller distortions of the MnO₆ octahedra. The role of anharmonic interatomic potentials is discussed.
