Abstract
En 中文
To describe the structural phase transitions P4(2)/mnm(R) <-> P2(1)/c(M-1) <-> P (1) over bar (T) <-> C2/m(M-2) observed experimentally in VO2 and its solid solutions, the two-component order parameter model is newly proposed. We identify the space groups of 102 ordered phases induced by the 36 irreducible representations of the ten star channel groups related to six Lifshitz stars in the Brillouin zone of space group P4(2)/mnm, and show that these are characterized by the invariant characteristic quantities of four image groups (L groups). In particular, it is shown that the two-component order parameter model transformed according to the two-dimensional irreducible representation T-2 of star channel group P4(2)/mnm[k(16)((1))] is far more effective than the four-component one for describing the phase transitions observed experimentally in VO2 and its solid solutions. The structurally stable Landau potential models with one to five varying parameters and invariant under the L-2(8) (4mm) group are suggested for the phenomenological studies based on the two-component order parameter model. By using the eighth-order Landau potential model with three varying parameters, the coefficient phase diagram and the temperature-concentration phase diagram are theoretically constructed, which are in good agreement with the experimental data of V1-xAlxO2.
