Current induced insulator-metal transition in Ca2RuO4 — •Konstantin Dietrich, Christoph Grams, Kevin Jenni, Markus Braden, and Joachim Hemberger — II. Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Germany

Ca2RuO4 is a Mott insulator with a first order metal insulator transition at a critical temperature of TC=357K [1]. The change in conducting behavior is accompanied by a change in crystal structure of the layered ruthenate. The conducting phase above TC has an elongated c-axis (c=12.26Å) compared to the non-conducting phase (c=11.77Å) below TC [2].

This phase transition can not only be induced by a change in temperature but also by application of an electrical field [3]. At temperatures below 50K the application of small currents can even induce very strong diamagnetic behavior [4].

Using pulsed spectroscopy, we investigate the dynamics of this field-induced switching process. We are able to discriminate heating effects by separating the time-scales for temperature and field induced transitioning and we can identify the signatures of inner contacts due to the coexistence of metallic and insulating phases.
