The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility of the Bi$_{2-y}$Sr$_{y}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ system was studied from 2 to 300 K. According to these measurements, the solid solution $(0\leq y\leq 0.9)$ does not show any magnetic…

Spin-orbit coupling locks spin direction and spatial orientation and generates, in semi-classical magnets, a local spin easy-axis and associated ordering. Quantum spin-1/2's defy this fate: rather than spins becoming locally anisotropic,…
