Charge-Stripe Order and Superconductivity in Ir1−xPtxTe2
Charge-Stripe Order and Superconductivity in Ir1−xPtxTe2
A combined resistivity and hard x-ray diffraction study of superconductivity and charge ordering in $\mathrm{Ir_{1-x}Pt_xTe_2}$, as a function of Pt substitution and externally applied hydrostatic pressure, is presented. Experiments are focused on samples near the critical composition $x_c\sim 0.045$ where competition and switching between charge order and superconductivity is established. …
