New high-pressure perovskite-like phases ACu3V4O12 (A-Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er and Tm): synthesis and electrical properties

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of high pressures on the electrical properties of the new high-pressure perovskite-like phases ACu₃V₄O₁₂ (A-Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er and Tm). The X-ray and microstructural studies of the synthesized by barothermal compression compounds were carried out. The electrical properties of the compounds were studied in the wide ranges of frequencies of the electric field, temperatures and pressures.

This work was supported in part by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project 12-02-31607. Also the research was carried out in terms of Ural Federal University development program with the financial support of young scientists.
