Abstract

The first-order charge density wave (CDW) phase transition of Er2Ir3Si5 is characterized by a crystal structure analysis, and electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements. The incommensurate CDW is accompanied by a strong lattice distortion, from which it is shown that the CDW resides on zigzag chains of iridium atoms. The CDW transition affects the magnitude of the local magnetic moments on Er3+, implying strong coupling between CDW and magnetism. This could account for the observation that magnetic order is suppressed down to at least 0.1 K in the high-quality single crystal presently studied. Any disorder in the crystallinity, as in ceramic material, broadens and suppresses the CDW transition, while magnetic order appears at 2.1 K.
