Gauging electronic transport in Sodium Iridate and Vanadium Triiodide thin crystals through graphene heterostructures

POSTER

Abstract

Sodium Iridate (Na2IrO3) presents exciting ground states thanks to the combination of electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal field effects and a honeycomb arrangement of the iridium ions. Vandium triiodide (VI3) on the other hand, constitutes a promising candidate for 2-D magnetism. Due to the highly insulating behavior of these materials, little progress has been made in terms of transport measurements. Here we explore an indirect transport measurement of thin exfoliated Na2IrO3 and VI3 crystals through a graphene heterostructure.
