Chemical tuning between triangular and honeycomb structures in a 5d spin-orbit Mott insulator

We report structural studies of the spin-orbit Mott insulator family K x Ir y O 2 , with triangular layers of edge-sharing IrO 6 octahedra bonded by potassium ions. The potassium content acts as a chemical tuning parameter to control the amount of charge in the Ir-O layers. Unlike the isostructur...
