Pressure effects on superconductivity and anomalous transition in triangular lattice CuIr<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>4</sub>

POSTER

Abstract

Geometrical spin-frustrated systems play an important role in condensed matter physics. Recently, a proposed charge-density-wave (CDW) along with superconductivity (SC) in CuIr2Te4 was reported [1] through the resistivity and magnetization measurements. It motivated us to further study the competitions between CDW and SC under external hydrostatic pressure. The CuIr2Te4 was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetization measurements. XRD pattern confirmed the major phase of CuIr2Te4 and the anomalous transition (Ts ~ 200 K) along with SC transition below Tc ~ 3 K in zero-field-cooling cycle was observed. The preliminary results are in agreement with the previous report [1]. Under the external pressure, both transitions (Ts and Tc) exhibit a systematic change, suggesting that a significant competition between anomalous transition and SC occurs in CuIr2Te4. The nature of anomalous transition in CuIr2Te4 will be discussed.
