Abstract Effects of spin–orbit interactions in condensed matter are an important and rapidly
evolving topic. Strong competition between spin–orbit, on-site Coulomb and crystalline …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of the magnetic-insulating ground state of Sr 2 IrO 4
at ambient pressure show a clear deviation from a strong spin-orbit (SO) limit J eff= 1 2 state …

The possible existence of topological insulators in cubic pyrochlore iridates A 2 Ir 2 O 7 (A=
Y or rare-earth elements) is investigated by taking into account the strong spin-orbit coupling …

Element-and orbital-selective x-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism
measurements are carried out to probe the electronic structure and magnetism of Ir 5 d …

We have studied the effect of pressure on the pyrochlore iridate Eu 2 Ir 2 O 7, which, at
ambient pressure, has a thermally driven insulator to metal transition at T MI∼ 120 K. As a …

High quality epitaxial Sr 2 IrO 4 thin films with various thicknesses (9–300 nm) have been
grown on SrTiO 3 (001) substrates and their electric transport properties have been …

We report an experimental/theoretical study of single-crystal Bi 2 Ir 2 O 7 that possesses a
metallic state with strongly exchange-enhanced paramagnetism. The ground state of Bi 2 Ir …

Electrical control of structural and physical properties is a long-sought, but elusive goal of
contemporary science and technology. We demonstrate that a combination of strong spin …

S r 2 Ir O 4 is a spin-orbit-coupled insulator with an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at TN=
240 K. We report results of a comprehensive study of single-crystal S r 2 I r 1− x T bx O 4 …

The post-perovskite (pPv) is the high-pressure phase of some highly distorted perovskites.
The pPv phase of MgSi O 3 stabilized under 125 GPa and 2000 K cannot be quenched to …
