Abstract

We report the first investigation of the electrical and magnetic properties of the triangular-lattice compound Zr $_2$ NiP $_2$ (space group $P$ 6 $_3$ / $mmc$ ). The temperature evolution of electrical resistivity follows the Bloch-Gr\"uneisen-Mott law, and exhibits a typically metallic behavior. No transition is visible by both electrical and magnetic property measurements, and nearly no magnetization is detected ( $M_0$ $<$ 0.002 $\mu_\mathrm{B}$ /Ni) down to 1.8 K up to 7 T. The metallic and nonmagnetic characters are well understood by the first-principles calculations for Zr $_2$ NiP $_2$ .
