摘要
Currently, no known material retains its photoinduced metallicconductivity over a long time while also exhibiting repeatable metal-to-insulatorrecovery. Here, we demonstrate such a highly repeatable photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition in yttrium oxyhydride (YOxHy) epitaxial thinfilms. The temperature(T) dependence of the electrical resistivity (rho) of thefilms transforms from theinsulating to the metallic state (d rho/dT> 0) under ultraviolet laser illumination. TheYOxHyfilm recovers its original insulating state when heated (125 degrees C) under an Aratmosphere and regains metallic conductivity when subsequently subjected toultraviolet laser illumination again, showing a repeatable photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition. First-principles calculations show that the itinerant carriers originate from the variations in the charge states of thehydrogen atoms that occupy octahedral interstitial sites. This study indicates that tuning the site occupancy (octahedral/tetrahedral)of the hydrogen atoms exerts a significant effect on the photoresponse of metal hydrides
