Although they were first synthesized in chemistry laboratories nearly fifty years ago, the
physical properties of the metals PdCoO 2, PtCoO 2 and PdCrO 2 have only more recently …

The electronic transport properties of the delafossite oxides ABO 2 are usually understood in
terms of two well-separated entities, namely the triangular A+ and (BO 2)-layers. Here, we …

Understanding the role of electron correlations in strong spin-orbit transition-metal oxides is
key to the realization of numerous exotic phases including spin-orbit–assisted Mott …

Metallic delafossites are fascinating layered materials with exceptionally high electrical
conductivity and surface polarity. The high conductivity is produced by the two-dimensional …

Alternate stacking of a highly conducting metallic layer with a magnetic triangular layer
found in delafossite PdCrO 2 provides an excellent platform for discovering intriguing …

A nearly free electron metal and a Mott insulating state can be thought of as opposite ends of
the spectrum of possibilities for the motion of electrons in a solid. Understanding their …

We report the first case of the successful measurements of a localized spin antiferromagnetic
transition in delafossite-type PdCrO2 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy …

We revealed the electrical transport through surface ferromagnetic states of a nonmagnetic
metal PdCo O 2. Electronic reconstruction at the Pd-terminated surface of PdCo O 2 induces …

The natural-heterostructure concept realized in delafossites highlights these layered oxides.
While metallic, band-or Mott-insulating character may be associated with individual layers …

Frustrated interactions exist throughout nature, with examples ranging from protein folding
through to frustrated magnetic interactions. Whilst magnetic frustration is observed in …
