title = " Melting of d xy Orbital Ordering Accompanied by Suppression of Giant Tetragonal Distortion and Insulator-to-Metal Transition in Cr-Substituted PbVO 3 ",
abstract = " PbVO 3 features giant tetragonal distortion (c/a = 1.23) and spontaneous polarization (P s = 101 μC/cm 2 ) originating from the ordering of d xy orbital of V 4+ with single d electrons. A dedicated study of Cr-substituted PbVO 3 prepared by high-pressure synthesis afforded a well-defined variation in c/a ratio. Ensuing changes in atomic structure were correlated to ferroelastic domain switching and a temperature-induced structural transition to a cubic phase accompanied with an insulator-to-metal transition and a negative thermal expansion.",
