Abstract

We studied the electrical conductivity of ACrO3 (A=Sr, Ca) perovskites performed at various pressures up to 40 GPa using diamond anvil cell techniques. The samples were synthesized under high pressure high temperature. Pressure induced metallizations were observed in both samples. However the xray diffraction experiments with synchrotron radiation source indicated no discernable crystal structural transition up to 60 GPa. Therefore the pressure induced metallizations were ascribed to electronic type phase transitions. It possibly came from the change of electronic structure due to an orbital ordering evolution induced by pressure.
