Description
Summary:Two-dimensional (2D) IrTe<sub>2</sub> has a profound charge ordering and superconducting state, which is related to its thickness and doping. Here, we report the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of IrTe<sub>2</sub> films using different Ir precursors on different substrates. The Ir(acac)<sub>3</sub> precursor and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) substrate is found to yield a higher quality of polycrystalline IrTe<sub>2</sub> films. Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic characterization has shown the q<sub>1/8</sub> phase to HT phase at ~250 K in the as-grown IrTe<sub>2</sub> films on h-BN. Electrical measurement has shown the HT phase to q<sub>1/5</sub> phase at around 220 K.
