We have investigated the electronic structure of Sr2IrO4 within the density-functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation while taking into account strong Coulomb correlations in the framework of the fully relativistic…
We analyze resonant x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra in Na$_2$IrO$_3$ on the basis of the itinerant electron picture. Employing a multi-orbital tight-binding model on a honeycomb lattice, we find that the zigzag magnetic order is the most…
Based on the microscopic model including strong spin-orbit coupling, on-site Coulomb and Hund's interactions, as well as crystal field effects, we have investigated magnetic and optical properties of Sr2IrO4. Taking into account all…
We report an Fe $K$-edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) study of K$_{0.83}$Fe$_{1.53}$Se$_2$. This material is an insulator, unlike many parent compounds of iron-based superconductors. We found a sharp excitation around 1 eV,…
A comparative resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study of three well-known Kitaev materials is presented: $\alpha$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$, Na$_2$IrO$_3$, and $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. Despite similar low-energy physics, these materials show…
We investigated the temperature-dependent evolution of the electronic structure of the Jeff,1/2 Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 using optical spectroscopy. The optical conductivity spectra $\sigma(\omega)$ of this compound has recently been found to…
We use time- and energy-resolved optical spectroscopy to investigate the coupling of electron-hole excitations to the magnetic environment in the relativistic Mott insulator Na$_2$IrO$_3$. We show that, on the picosecond timescale, the…
The low energy excitations in Na2IrO3 have been investigated using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). A magnetic excitation branch can be resolved, whose dispersion reaches a maximum energy of about 35 meV at the \Gamma-point. The…
We analyze the resonant x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra from Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ in an itinerant electron approach. Employing a multi-orbital tight-binding model on the square lattice, we calculate the one-electron energy band within the…
For the Sr2-xIrO4 system, recent work pointed out the abnormal electronic and magnetic properties around the critical point. Here, to understand Sr-vacancy effect on spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator Sr2IrO4, the electronic structure and…

The electronic structure of the honeycomb lattice iridates Na2IrO3 and Li2IrO3 has been investigated using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). Crystal-field split d-d excitations are resolved in the high-resolution RIXS spectra. In…
Low-energy electron excitation spectra were measured on a single crystal of a typical iron-based superconductor PrFeAsO$_{0.7}$ using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Fe-$L_3$ edge. Characteristic RIXS features are clearly…
Most of the low-energy effective descriptions of spin-orbit driven Mott insulators consider spin orbit coupling (SOC) as a second order perturbation to electron-electron interactions. However, when SOC is comparable to anisotropic Hund's…
We present a detailed Cu K-edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) study of the Mott insulator La2CuO4 in the 1-7 eV energy transfer range. As initially found for the high-temperature superconductor HgBa2CuO4+d, the spectra exhibit…
We establish the spectral line shape of orbital excitations created by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering for the model Mott insulator CoO. Improved experimental energy resolution reveals that the line shapes are strikingly different from…
We determine how the elementary excitations of iridium-oxide materials, which are dominated by a strong relativistic spin-orbit coupling, appear in Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS). Whereas the RIXS spectral weight at the L2 x-ray…
CoO has an odd number of electrons in its unit cell, and therefore is expected to be metallic. Yet, CoO is strongly insulating owing to significant electronic correlations, thus classifying it as a Mott insulator. We investigate the…
The strongly correlated insulator Ca$_{2}$RuO$_4$ is considered as a paradigmatic realization of both spin-orbital physics and a band-Mott insulating phase, characterized by orbitally selective coexistence of a band and a Mott gap. We…
