Herein, we report on the intriguing electrical transport properties of compressed AlAs. The relative permittivity and the resistances of both the grain and bulk boundaries vary abnormally at ∼10.9 GPa, accompanied by the cubic–hexagonal structural transition of AlAs. With further compression, the boundary effect becomes undistinguished, and subsequently, the electrical transport mechanism converts from boundary- to bulk-dominated, which gives rise to a significant reduction in the total resistance of AlAs. After being quenched to ambient pressure, resistances recover to the initial values followed by the re-emergence of the boundary effect. Eg decreases with pressure and its pressure dependence changes at ∼14.0 GPa, which rationalizes the anomalous variation of the electrical transport properties. The experimental results indicate that the boundary effect can be modulated by compression and increases the resistance difference between the two states. This opens up a new possible basis for optimizing the performance of AlAs-based applications, including multilevel phase-change memories.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
