Abstract

We report growth of single crystals of the non-magnetic metallic delafossite PdRhO_{2}, comparing the results from three different methods. Complete crystallographic data were obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic structure calculations made using the refined structural parameters. Focused-ion beam microstructuring was used to prepare a sample for measurements of the in- and out-of-plane electrical resistivity, and the large observed anisotropy is qualitatively consistent with the cylindrical Fermi surface predicted by the calculations.
