Unconventional Surface Conductivity in Correlated Honeycomb Transition Metal Oxide Mott Insulators — •Thomas Dziuba1, Máté Stark1, Ina Pietsch2, Philipp Gegenwart2, and Martin Wenderoth11IV.

The correlated honeycomb transition metal oxides attract large attention for the theoretical prospect of topological non-triviality as well as being a possible realization of the magnetic Kitaev exchange model. The Mott insulating sodium iridate Na2IrO3 is prototypical among these materials with the promising prospect to bridge the field of strongly correlated systems with topology [1]. By using home-built STM and STS combined with macroscopic conductivity measurements of freshly cleaved Na2IrO3 surfaces in UHV we measure the properties provided by the sample surface. We report on the rather unconventional linear-dispersion in-gap conductivity found by tunneling spectroscopy. The addressability of such states strongly depends on the electronic properties of the probe and local surface structures. We will further discuss the found conductivity of the Na2IrO3 surface in the light of macroscopic measurements, complementing previous (bulk) results [2].
