Anisotropic thermal transport in magnetic intercalates Fe$_{x}$TiS$_2$

Abstract

We present a study of the of thermal transport in thin single crystals of iron-intercalated titanium disulphide, Fex_{x}TiS2_2 for 0x0.200\leq x \leq 0.20. We determine the distribution of intercalants using high-resolution crystallographic and magnetic measurements, confirming the insertion of Fe without long-range ordering. We find that iron intercalation perturbs the lattice very little, and suppresses the tendency of TiS2_2 to self-intercalate with excess Ti. We observe trends in the thermal conductivity that are compatible with our ab initio calculations of thermal transport in perfectly stoichiometric TiS2_2.
