Dilution of the magnetic lattice in the Kitaev candidate $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ by Rh${}^{3+}$ doping

G. Bastien, E. Vinokurova, M. Lange +8

Magnetic dilution of a well-established Kitaev candidate system is realized in the substitutional Ru${}_{1-x}$Rh${}_x$Cl${}_3$ series ($x=0.02-0.6$). Optimized syntheses protocols yiel…
