We study the magnetic properties of the adatom systems on a semiconductor surface Si(111):\{C,Si,Sn,Pb\} - ($\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$). On the basis of all-electron density functional theory calculations we construct effective low-energy…

The complex oxide heterostructures such as LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interface are paradigmatic platforms to explore emerging multi-degrees of freedom coupling and the associated exotic phenomena. In this study, we reveal the effects of…

A systematic density functional theory (DFT)+U study is conducted to investigate the electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects in US3 and USe3. Our calculations reveal that inclusion of the U term is essential to get energy…

We address the concomitant metal-insulator transition (MIT) and antiferromagnetic ordering in the novel pyrochlore iridate Eu2Ir2O7 by combining x-ray absorption spectroscopy, x-ray and neutron diffractions and density functional theory…

Sr2IrO4 is an archetypal spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulator with an antiferromagnetic state below 240 K. Here we report results of our study on single crystals of Sr2Ir1-xFexO4 (0<x<0.32) and Sr2Ir1-xCoxO4 (0<x<0.22). Fe doping retains the…

To clarify a crucial role of a spin-orbit coupling in the emergence of novel spin-orbital states in $5d$-electron compounds such as Sr$_{2}$IrO$_{4}$, we investigate ground state properties of a $t_{\rm 2g}$-orbital Hubbard model on a…

The electronic properties of excitonic insulators have been examined precisely in recent years. Pictures of exciton condensation may be applied to the spin-state transition observed in perovskite cobalt oxides. We examine the crystal-field…

Supposing the spin-triplet superconducting state of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, the spin-orbit (SO) coupling associated with relative motion in Cooper pairs is calculated by extending the method for the dipole-dipole coupling given by Leggett in the…

We performed resonant x-ray diffraction experiments at the $L$ absorption edges for the post-perovskite-type compound CaIrO$_{3}$ with $(t_{2g})^5$ electronic configuration. By observing the magnetic signals, we could clearly see that the…

The negligible intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene can be enhanced by proximity effects in stacked heterostructures of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). The composition of the TMDC layer plays a key role in…

The entanglement of the spin and orbital degrees of freedom through the spin-orbit coupling has been actively studied in condensed matter physics. In several iridium-oxide systems, the spin-orbital entangled state, identified by the…

We have synthesized and studied a new iridate, Ba13Ir6O30, with unusual Ir oxidation states: 2/3 Ir6+(5d3) ions and 1/3 Ir5+(5d4) ions. Its crystal structure features dimers of face-sharing IrO6 octahedra, and IrO6 monomers, that are linked…

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron interaction can mutually influence each other and give rise to a plethora of intriguing phenomena in condensed matter systems. In pristine bilayer graphene, which has weak SOC, intrinsic…

In atomic physics, the Hund rule says that the largest spin and orbital state is realized due to the interplay of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the Coulomb interactions. Here, we show that in ferromagnetic solids the effective SOC and…

We consider spin-orbit coupling effects in Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$, a material in which Ir$^{4+}$ spins form an hyper-kagom\'{e} lattice, a three-dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles. We argue that both low temperature thermodynamic…

Spin orbit coupling plays a non-perturbation effect in many recently developed novel fields including topological insulators and spin-orbit assistant Mott insulators. In this paper, strongly temperature-dependent spin orbit coupling,…

Spin-orbit (SO) coupling -- the interaction between a quantum particle's spin and its momentum -- is ubiquitous in nature, from atoms to solids. In condensed matter systems, SO coupling is crucial for the spin-Hall effect and topological…

We theoretically study the impacts of linear spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction between magnetic impurities in two kinds of three-dimensional noncentrosymmetric systems. It has been found that linear…

Motivated by studies of coexisting electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling effect in Na$_2$IrO$_3$ and a recent experiment of its 4d analogue Li$_2$RhO$_3$, we performed first-principles calculations of the rhodium oxide compound. The…

While 3$d$-containing materials display strong electron correlations, narrow band widths, and robust magnetism, 5$d$ systems are recognized for strong spin-orbit coupling, increased hybridization, and more diffuse orbitals. Combining these…
