Strong antiferromagnetic interaction owing to a large trigonal distortion in the spin-orbit-coupled honeycomb lattice iridate CdIrO${}_3$

Yuya Haraguchi, Hiroko Aruga Katori

We investigated the magnetic properties of the ilmenite-type iridate CdIrO${}_3$ with a honeycomb lattice formed by Ir${}^{4+}$ ions prepared via a solid-state metathesis. The magnetiz…
