Epitaxial thin films of pyrochlore iridate Bi_{2+x}Ir_{2-y}O_{7-delta}: structure, defects and transport properties

Wencao Yang, Yuantao Xie, Wenka Zhu +12

While pyrochlore iridate thin films are theoretically predicted to possess a variety of emergent topological properties, experimental verification of these predictions can be obstr…
