We report the growth of high-quality single crystals of RhP2,and systematically study its structure and physical properties by transport,magnetism,and heat capacity measurements.Single-crystal x-ray diffraction reveals that RhP2 adopts a monoclinic structure with the cell parameters a=5.7347(10)Å,b=5.7804(11)Å,and c=5.8222(11)Å,space groupP21/c(No.14).The electrical resistivity p(T)measurements indicate that RhP2 exhibits narrow-bandgap behavior with the activation energies of 223.1 meV and 27.4 meV for two distinct regions,respectively.The temperature-dependent Hall effect measurements show electron domain transport behavior with a low charge carrier concentration.We find that RhP2 has a high mobility μe~210 cm2·V-1·s-1 with carrier concentrations ne~3.3×1018 cm-3 at 300 K with a narrow-bandgap feature.The high mobility μe reaches the maximum of approximately 340 cm2·V-1·s-1 with carrier concentrations ne~2 × 1018 cm-3 at 100 K.No magnetic phase transitions are observed from the susceptibility x(T)and specific heat Cp(T)measurements of RhP2.Our results not only provide effective potential as a material platform for studying exotic physical properties and electron band structures but also motivate further exploration of their potential photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.
