摘要: We report an experimental/theoretical study of single-crystal Bi2Ir2O7 that possesses a metallic state with strongly exchange-enhanced paramagnetism. The ground is characterized by the following features: (1) divergent low-temperature magnetic susceptibility indicates no long-range order down to 50?mK; (2) field-dependent coefficients T and T3 terms specific heat; (3) conspicuously large Wilson ratio RW???53.5; (4) unusual temperature field dependences Hall resistivity abruptly change below 80?K, without any clear correlation behavior. All these unconventional properties suggest existence exotic in Bi2Ir2O7.
