Sr${}_3$Ir${}_2$O${}_7$F${}_2$: Topochemical conversion of a relativistic Mott state into a spin-orbit driven band insulator

Christi Peterson, Michael W. Swift, Zach Porter +9

The topochemical transformation of single crystals of Sr${}_3$Ir${}_2$O${}_7$ into Sr${}_3$Ir${}_2$O${}_7$F${}_2$ is reported via fluorine insertion. Characterization of the newly formed Sr${}_3$I…
