We propose the atomic structures of the 4H-SiC/SiO$_2$ interface for the $a$, $m$, C, and Si faces after NO annealing. Our proposed structures preferentially form at the topmost layers of the SiC side of the interface, which agrees with the…

We study the low-lying excitations in 5d transition-metal oxide Sr_2IrO_4 on the localized electron picture. We find that Hund's coupling together with the spin-orbit interaction leads to exchange anisotropy which causes the spin wave gap.…
