Crystal growth and magnetic properties of pyrochlore iridate Bi2Ir2O7

We report the single crystal growth of pyrochlore iridate Bi2Ir2O7 and its magnetic properties. The single crystals of Bi2Ir2O7 have been grown at 1150°C through the self-flux method. The crystals are found in octahedron-type shape with a typical size of ~340 µm. The Laue diffraction pattern suggest...

Description
Summary:We report the single crystal growth of pyrochlore iridate Bi2Ir2O7 and its magnetic properties. The single crystals of Bi2Ir2O7 have been grown at 1150°C through the self-flux method. The crystals are found in octahedron-type shape with a typical size of ~340 µm. The Laue diffraction pattern suggests that the crystals of Bi2Ir2O7 are in a unique crystalline domain. Temperature-dependent zero-field and field-cooled magnetization data do not exhibit magnetic bifurcation down to 2 K and isothermal magnetization at 2K show a low moment 0.019 µB/f.u.
