Abstract
A new A-site-ordered perovskite BiCu3Cr4O12 is synthesized under a high pressure of 7.7 GPa. A phase transition from a paramagnetic metal to a ferrimagnetic metal is observed at T-c = 190K accompanied with a structural change from cubic to monoclinic. Structural analysis of the low-temperature monoclinic phase reveals that this transition represents a charge disproportionation of Cr3.75+ into Cr4+ and Cr3.5+. We argue that the asymmetric displacement of Bi caused by a lone-pair effect triggers the formation of a dimeric Cr4+ O-2(5) unit and leads to an ordering of Cr4+ and Cr3.5+ below the transition.
