Compressive strain, downshifting the d-band center of transition metal oxides, is an effective
way to accelerate the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water …

Iridates have been providing a fertile ground for studying emergent phases of matter that
arise from the delicate interplay of various fundamental interactions with approximate energy …

Spin–orbit coupling, locking the momentum of an electron to its spin, has been shown
essential for giving rise to many novel physical behaviors. SrIrO3 is a typical metallic …

We study the optical properties of the Ruddlesden-Popper series of iridates Sr n+ 1 Ir n O 3
n+ 1 (n= 1, 2, and∞) by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), where the quasiparticle …

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) has recently been shown to emerge at interfaces
of 3 d and 5 d transition-metal oxides (TMOs). However, strategies to systematically stabilize …

The competition between spin-orbit coupling, bandwidth (W), and electron-electron
interaction (U) makes iridates highly susceptible to small external perturbations, which can …

Abstract 5d transition-metal-based oxides display emergent phenomena due to the
competition between the relevant energy scales of the correlation, bandwidth, and most …

Sr 2 Ir O 4 is predicted to be a candidate for high-temperature superconductivity upon carrier
doping, whereas extensive research has proved it challenging to obtain a metallic phase in …

We study the modification of the electronic structure in the strong spin–orbit coupled Sr 2 IrO
4 by epitaxial strain using density-functional methods. Structural optimization shows that …

Sr 2 Ir O 4 is an archetypal spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulator and has been extensively
studied in part because of a wide range of predicted states. Limited experimental …
