Abstract Ruddlesden-Popper iridate Sr3Ir2O7 is a spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator. Hole doped Sr3Ir2O7 provides an ideal platform to study the exotic quantum phenomena that occur near the metal-insulator transition (MIT) region. Rh substitution of Ir is an effective method to induce hole doping into Sr3Ir2O7. However, the highest doping level reported in Sr3(Ir1-xRhx)2O7 single crystals was only around 3%, which is far from the MIT region. In this paper, we report the successful growth of single crystals of Sr3(Ir1-xRhx)2O7 with a doping level of ～ 9%. The samples have been fully characterized, demonstrating the high quality of the single crystals. Transport measurements have been carried out, confirming the tendency of MIT in these samples. The electronic structure has also been examined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. Our results establish a platform to investigate the heavily hole doped Sr3Ir2O7 compound, which also provide new insights into the MIT with hole doping in this material system.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
