We report structural and physical properties of the single crystalline $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Mn}_{2}\mathrm{P}_{2}$ . The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Mn}_{2}\mathrm{P}_{2}$ adopts the trigonal $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Al}_{2}\mathrm{Si}_{2}$ -type structure. Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity $\rho(T)$ measurements indicate an insulating ground state for $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Mn}_{2}\mathrm{P}_{2}$ with activation energies of 40 meV and 0.64 meV for two distinct regions, respectively. Magnetization measurements show no apparent magnetic phase transition under 400 K. Different from other $\mathrm{A}\mathrm{Mn}_{2}\mathrm{Pn}_{2} (\textrm{A}= \textrm{Ca}$ , Sr, and Ba, and $\textrm{Pn} = \textrm{P}$ , As, and Sb) compounds with the same structure, heat capacity $C_\mathrm{p}(T)$ and $\rho(T)$ reveal that $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Mn}_{2}\mathrm{P}_{2}$ has a first-order transition at $T= 69.5\ \text{K}$ and the transition temperature shifts to high temperature upon increasing pressure. The emergence of plenty of new Raman modes below the transition, clearly suggests a change in symmetry accompanying the transition. The combination of the structural, transport, thermal and magnetic measurements points to an unusual origin of the transition.

三角结构CaMn 2 P 2中的一阶跃迁

我们报告了单晶的结构和物理性质$ \ mathrm {Ca} \ mathrm {Mn} _ {2} \ mathrm {P} _ {2} $ 。X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明$ \ mathrm {Ca} \ mathrm {Mn} _ {2} \ mathrm {P} _ {2} $ 采用三角$ \ mathrm {Ca} \ mathrm {Al} _ {2} \ mathrm {Si} _ {2} $ 型结构。与温度相关的电阻率$ \ rho(T)$ 测量结果表明,$ \ mathrm {Ca} \ mathrm {Mn} _ {2} \ mathrm {P} _ {2} $ 对于两个不同的区域,激活能量分别为40 meV和0.64 meV时,绝缘基态处于绝缘状态。磁化测量显示在400 K以下没有明显的磁相变。不同于具有相同结构,热容量的其他$ \ mathrm {A} \ mathrm {Mn} _ {2} \ mathrm {Pn} _ {2}(\ textrm {A} = \ textrm {Ca} $ Sr和Ba和$ \ textrm {Pn} = \ textrm {P} $ As和As化合物,$ C_ \ mathrm {p}(T)$ $ \ rho(T)$ 显示$ \ mathrm {Ca} \ mathrm {Mn} _ {2} \ mathrm {P} _ {2} $ $ T = 69.5 \ \ text {K} $ 随着压力的升高,转变温度转变为高温。在过渡以下出现了许多新的拉曼模式,这清楚地表明伴随过渡出现了对称性的变化。结构,传输,热和磁测量的组合指出了转变的不寻常起点。
