Abstract Metal-insulator transition (MIT) in perovskite iridium oxides Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_{n}$O$_{3n+1}$ represents one of the most attractive phenomena exemplifying the cooperation of Coulomb interaction and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). MIT takes place when Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_{n}$O$_{3n+1}$ ($n = 1$, 2) is doped with carriers. While electron-doped Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_{n}$O$_{3n+1}$ ($n = 1$, 2) systems have been extensively investigated, hole-doped samples are still limited. Here, we report the first growth of Fe-doped (hole-doped) Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ single crystals [Sr$_{3}$(Ir$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)$_{2}$O$_{7}$] with the doping level $0.1\le x \le 0.28$. An MIT behavior is observed at the doping level of $x \sim 0.16$ from resistivity measurements. Electronic structures of Fe-doped Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ have been revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. The evident energy shift of the band structure indicates higher hole-doping level as compared with Rh-doped Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$. Our results demonstrate that Fe doping serves as an effective approach for heavily hole doping in Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$, thereby offering a powerful strategy to modulate MIT in this material system.

Online attention
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.
