Journal Article
Evolution of the surface phase transitions in IrTe2
2024
Overview
The phase transitions in IrTe
2
have been extensively studied but the symmetry at each phase is yet to be settled. Employing second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements over a temperature range of 4 –300 K, we probe the evolution of the symmetry of IrTe
2
. Our results indicate shifts in two distinct transition temperatures (T
s1
and T
s2
with T
s1
> T
s2
) through thermal cycling, providing an explanation for the variations of reported values in literature. The SHG polarimetry measurements identify symmetries in different temperature ranges, confirming the trigonal symmetry above T
s1
, the triclinic symmetry between T
s1
and T
s2
, and the coexistence of multiple stripe phases below T
s2
. The most striking feature is the reemergence of a trigonal phase as reflected by six-fold symmetry below ~ 10 K which is likely responsible for phenomena observed at low temperatures.
