Controlled Introduction of Defects to Delafossite Metals by Electron Irradiation

The delafossite metals PdCoO_{2}, PtCoO_{2}, and PdCrO_{2} are among the highest conductivity materials known, with low-temperature mean free paths of tens of microns in the best as-grown single crystals. A key question is whether these very low resistive scattering rates result from strongly suppre...
