Over the past few years, Sr2IrO4, a single-layer member of the Ruddlesden–Popper series
iridates, has received much attention as a close analog of cuprate high-temperature …

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 …

Measuring how the magnetic correlations evolve in doped Mott insulators has greatly
improved our understanding of the pseudogap, non-Fermi liquids and high-temperature …

The consequences of the Jahn-Teller (JT) orbital-lattice coupling for magnetism of
pseudospin J eff= 1/2 and J eff= 0 compounds are addressed. In the former case …

Spin-orbit entangled magnetic dipoles, often referred to as pseudospins, provide a new
avenue to explore novel magnetism inconceivable in the weak spin-orbit coupling limit, but …

Critical behavior is very common in many fields of science and a wide variety of many-body
systems exhibit emergent critical phenomena. The beauty of critical phase transitions lies in …

In the high spin–orbit-coupled Sr2IrO4, the high sensitivity of the ground state to the details
of the local lattice structure shows a large potential for the manipulation of the functional …

Strongly driven antiferromagnetic Mott insulators have the potential to exhibit exotic transient
phenomena that are forbidden in thermal equilibrium. However, such far-from-equilibrium …

We have measured the doping and temperature dependence of lattice vibrations and
magnetic excitations in the prototypical doped spin-orbit Mott insulator Sr 2− x La x IrO 4 (x …

We report on the growth of stoichiometric Sr 2 IrO 4 single crystals, which allow us to unveil
their intrinsic magnetic properties. The effect of different growth conditions has been …
