Epitaxial thin films of pyrochlore iridate Bi2+xIr2-yO7-δ: structure, defects and transport properties

Abstract While pyrochlore iridate thin films are theoretically predicted to possess a variety of emergent topological properties, experimental verification of these predictions can be obstructed by the challenge in thin film growth. Here we report on the pulsed laser deposition and characterization...
