Hg2Ru2O7, a New Magnetic Pyrochlore Showing a Metal-Insulator Transition — •Reinhard K. Kremer, Jun Sung Kim, Wilhelm Klein, and Martin Jansen — Max Planck-Institut für Festkörperforschung, D-70569 Stuttgart, Germany

The new pyrochlore compound Hg2Ru2O7 was prepared under elevated oxygen pressure and characterized by x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements. Hg2Ru2O7 undergoes a simultaneous metal-insulator and antiferromagnetic ordering transition at ∼108 K with the critical temperature decreasing under hydrostatic pressure.[1] Hg2Ru2O7 is compared with other p-block metal oxoruthenates with pyrochlore structure which qualitatively show a very similar behavior. General trends are discussed.
