Abstract

Abstract

We report a systematic investigation on the evolution of the structural and physical properties, including the charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity of the polycrystalline CuIr $_{2}$ Te $_{4- x}$ I $_{x}$ for $0.0 \le x \le 1.0$ . X-ray diffraction results indicate that both of $a$ and $c$ lattice parameters increase linearly when $0.0 \le x \le 1.0$ . The resistivity measurements indicate that the CDW is destabilized with slight $x$ but reappears at $x \ge 0.9$ with very high $T_{\rm CDW}$ . Meanwhile, the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ enhances as $x$ increases and reaches a maximum value of around 2.95 K for the optimal composition CuIr $_{2}$ Te $_{1.9}$ I $_{0.1}$ followed by a slight decrease with higher iodine doping content. The specific heat jump ( $\Delta C/\gamma T_{\rm c}$ ) for the optimal composition CuIr $_{2}$ Te $_{3.9}$ I $_{0.1}$ is approximately 1.46, which is close to the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer value of 1.43, indicating that it is a bulk superconductor. The results of thermodynamic heat capacity measurements under different magnetic fields [ $C_{\rm p}(T, H)$ ], magnetization $M(T, H)$ and magneto-transport $\rho (T, H)$ measurements further suggest that CuIr $_{2}$ Te $_{4- x}$ I $_{x}$ bulks are type-II superconductors. Finally, an electronic phase diagram for this CuIr $_{2}$ Te $_{4- x}$ I $_{x}$ system has been constructed. The present study provides a suitable material platform for further investigation of the interplay of the CDW and superconductivity.
