A polymorph of RuI3 synthesized under high pressure has a two-layered honeycomb structure and exhibits semimetallic behavior in terms of resistivity, indicating strong electron correlations. Pauli paramagnetic behavior was observed in temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1.
A polymorph of RuI3 synthesized under high pressure was found to have a two-layered honeycomb structure. The resistivity of RuI3 exhibited semimetallic behavior, in contrast to the insulating properties of alpha-RuCl3. In addition, Pauli paramagnetic behavior was observed in the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the nuclear spin- lattice relaxation rate 1/T1. Band structure calculations indicate that the contribution of the I 5p components to the lowenergy t2g bands effectively reduces the Coulomb repulsion, leading to semimetallic properties. The physical properties also suggest strong electron correlations in RuI3.
