Sr 2 IrO 4 has been suggested as a Mott insulator from a single J eff= 1/2 band, similar to the
cuprates. However, this picture is complicated by the measured large magnetic anisotropy …

We have combined single-crystal neutron and x-ray diffractions to investigate the magnetic
and crystal structures of the honeycomb lattice Na 2 IrO 3. The system orders magnetically …

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 …

A rare combination of strong spin–orbit coupling and electron–electron correlations makes
the iridate Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 a promising host for novel electronic phases of matter,. The …

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 …

We have performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements on a series of Ir-
based 5 d transition metal compounds, including Ir, IrCl 3, IrO 2, Na 2 IrO 3, Sr 2 IrO 4, and Y …

Ab initio analyses of A 2 IrO 4 (A= Sr, Ba) are presented. Effective Hubbard-type models for Ir
5 dt 2 g manifolds downfolded from the global band structure are solved based on the …

We report a single-crystal neutron diffraction study of the layered Sr 2 IrO 4. This work
unambiguously determines the magnetic structure of the system and reveals that the spin …

We synthesize and study single crystals of a new double-perovskite Sr 2 YIrO 6. Despite two
strongly unfavorable conditions for magnetic order, namely, pentavalent Ir 5+(5 d 4) ions …

Sr 2 IrO 4 exhibits an insulating state driven by spin-orbit interactions. We report two
phenomena, namely, a large magnetoresistivity in Sr 2 IrO 4 that is extremely sensitive to the …
