Contribution
It reveals that Rh doping suppresses the phase transition in IrTe2 and induces superconductivity, providing a new platform to study the transition's origin.
Findings
Rh doping suppresses the phase transition in IrTe2.
Superconductivity appears at 2.6 K with Rh doping.
Higher Rh levels are needed compared to Pt and Pd doping.
Abstract
We report that the isovalent Rh doping of IrTe2 suppresses the structural/electronic phase transition and induces superconductivity at 2.6 K. The doping level of Rh that is necessary for suppressing the transition is three times higher than those of Pt and Pd. Ir1-xRhxTe2 might provide us with a unique opportunity to study the origin of the structural/electronic phase transition in IrTe2.
