Controlled vapor crystal growth of : A three-dimensional quantum spin liquid candidate
Abstract
We report the successful bulk single-crystal growth of the hyperkagome lattice iridate Na4Ir3O8 (Na438) by vapor transport using a sealed aluminum oxide tube as a container. Crystals were characterized by magnetization, x-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive x-ray measurements, confirming their identity and properties. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction experiments revealed superlattice peaks indexed on a propagation vector q = (1/3, 1/3, 1/3) based on the cubic substructure with cell parameter a = 8.986(1) angstrom. This superlattice is three-dimensional and fully coherent. Polarization analysis rules out spin and/or orbital order as the underlying origin of the modulation and points to long-range ordering of Na ions at the notionally disordered Na sites as a plausible origin for the observed superlattice.
