Cubic symmetry and magnetic frustration on the fcc spin lattice in K2IrCl6

Abstract: Cubic crystal structure and regular octahedral environment of Ir 4+ render antifluorite-type K2IrCl6 a model fcc antiferromagnet with a combination of Heisenberg and Kitaev exchange interactions. High-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction confirms cubic symmetry down to at least 20 K, with a low-energy rotary mode gradually suppressed upon cooling. Using thermodynamic and transport measurements, we estimate the activation energy of ∆ 0.7 eV for charge transport, the antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperatur… Show more

“…The positive χ 0 contribution leads to a weak curvature of 1/χ above 600 K and can not account for the more pronounced downward curvature below 250 K. In our case, χ 0 stands for a combination of two temperature-independent contributions, the negative one from the core diamagnetism estimated as χ core = −8.41× 10 −10 m 3 /mol [29], and the positive one from the van Vleck paramagnetism, χ VV . Using χ 0 = χ core +χ VV , we estimate χ VV = 1.94 × 10 −9 m 3 /mol that is comparable to 1.3 × 10 −9 m 3 /mol (Na 2 IrO 3 [30]), 2.7 × 10 −9 m 3 /mol (α-Li 2 IrO 3 [30]), and 1.4 × 10 −9 m 3 /mol (K 2 IrCl 6 [31]) reported in the previous literature for Ir 4+ in the j eff = 1 2 state.…”

“…Separately, there has been significant interest in the single‐ion physics of vacancy‐ordered double perovskites and related systems of heavy transition metals. Some progress has been made in this direction on Re IV (5 d 3 ), [19, 20] Os IV (5 d 4 ), [21, 22] and Ir IV (5 d 5 ), [23] halides, with the last two exhibiting strong spin‐orbit coupling (SOC) effects. The ability to tune the strength of SOC can give rise to a plethora of ground states of interest to quantum sensing and computing [24] …”

“…The symmetries of the lattice are important along with a broad impact on the physical phenomena determining electric and magnetic properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . Fortunately, the crystallography group, the set of symmetries compatible with the lattice translational symmetry, has been clarified for any dimensions 6,7,10,12, [16][17][18] .…”
