Single crystal growth and magnetism of Sr3NaIrO6 and Sr3AgIrO6: tracking the J = 0 ground state of Ir5+

Abstract

Single crystals of Sr3NaIrO6 and Sr3AgIrO6 have been successfully grown using hydroxides flux. Sr3NaIrO6 and Sr3AgIrO6 crystallize in the K4CdCl6-type structure with the space group R-3c (No.167). Sr3NaIrO6 and Sr3AgIrO6 are electrically insulating with estimated activation gaps of 0.68 eV and 0.80 eV, respectively. Sr3NaIrO6 and Sr3AgIrO6 show paramagnetic behavior down to 2 K.
