IrTe2, a layered compound with a triangular iridium lattice, exhibits a structural phase transition at approximately 250 K. This transition is characterized by the formation of Ir-Ir bonds along the b-axis. We found that the breaking of…
Gold is inert and forms very few compounds. One of the most interesting of those is calaverite AuTe2, which has incommensurate structure and which becomes superconducting when doped or under pressure. There exist a "sibling" of AuTe2 the…
The emergent phenomena such as superconductivity and topological phase transitions can be observed in strict two-dimensional crystalline matters. Artificial interfaces and one atomic thickness layers are typical 2D materials of this kind.…
