Electronic transport in thin crystals of sodium iridate

ORAL

Abstract

Sodium iridate (Na$_{2}$IrO$_{3})$, known as a novel relativistic Mott insulator, is a layered material that has shown signature of a metallic surface state [1]. Here we present preliminary transport measurements on thin crystals of Na$_{2}$IrO$_{3}$ as well as analysis of high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data at different photon energies and the effect of dopants deposited in-situ.
