The single crystalline form of an insulator, Sr$_3$CuIrO$_{6+\delta}$, is shown to exhibit unexpectedly more than one magnetic transition (at 5 and 19 K) with spin-glass-like magnetic susceptibility behaviour. On the basis of this finding,…
We report Raman scattering measurements on iron-pnictide superconductor Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ single crystals with varying cobalt $x$ content. The electronic Raman continuum shows a strong spectral weight redistribution upon…
I propose the emergence of the spin-orbital-coupled vector chirality in a non-frustrated Mott insulator with the strong spin-orbit coupling due to $ab$-plane's inversion-symmetry (IS) breaking. I derive the superexchange interactions for a…
Single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies with synchrotron radiation on the honeycomb iridate $\alpha$-Li$_{2}$IrO$_{3}$ reveal a pressure-induced structural phase transition with symmetry lowering from monoclinic to triclinic at a critical…
The electronic band structure and Fermi surface of ZrTe_3 was precisely determined by linearly polarized angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. Several bands and a large part of the Fermi surface are found to be split by 100-200 meV…
The polarized Raman scattering spectra from freshly cleaved $ab$, $ac$, and $bc$ surfaces of high quality twin free YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.5}$ (Ortho-II) single crystals ($T_c$=57.5 K and $\Delta T = 0.6$ K) were studied between 80 and 300 K.…
Fractionalization without time-reversal symmetry breaking is a long-sought-after goal in the study of correlated phenomena. The earlier proposal of correlated insulating states at $n \pm 1/3$ filling in twisted bilayer graphene and recent…
The perovskite-like compounds ACu3Ru4O12 (A=Na,Ca,Sr,La,Nd) are studied by means of density functional theory based electronic structure calculations using the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. The electronic properties are strongly…
By tackling the challenge of extending transparent oxide semiconductors to Ge based oxides, we have found a not-yet-reported crystal structure, named $\beta$-SrGe$_2$O$_5$, which is composed of edge-sharing GeO$_6$ octahedra interconnected…
Recent experiments with Yb-173 and Sr-87 isotopes provide new possibilities to study high spin two-orbital systems. Within these experiments part of the atoms are excited to a higher energy metastable electronic state mimicking an…
Motivated by experiments on the carrier-doped bilayer iridate $(\text{Sr}_{1-x}\text{La}_x)_3\text{Ir}_2\text{O}_7$, we study the dynamics of a single doped electron in a bilayer magnet in the presence of spin-orbit coupling, taking into…
We investigate the electronic structure of Sr$_3$NiRhO$_6$, a quasi-one-dimensional spin chain system using \emph{ab initio} band structure calculations. Spin polarized calculations within GGA reveal that Ni and Rh have finite moments and…
We consider a model for the two-dimensional electron gas formed at the interface of oxide heterostructures, which includes a Rashba spin-orbit coupling proportional to the electric field perpendicular to the interface. Based on the standard…
The Li-centered "ferric wheel" molecules with six oxo-bridged iron atoms form molecular crystals. We probed their electronic structure by X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), having calculated in parallel…
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…
Emergence of novel quantum ground states in correlated electron systems with strong spin-orbit coupling has been a recent subject of intensive studies. While it has been realized that spin-orbit coupling can provide non-trivial band…
This article reports a detailed x-ray resonant scattering study of the bilayer iridate compound, Sr3Ir2O7, at the Ir L2 and L3 edges. Resonant scattering at the Ir L3 edge has been used to determine that Sr3Ir2O7 is a long-range ordered…
A new iron-oxychalcogenide (CaO)(FeSe) was obtained which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) with a = 5.9180(12) {\AA}, b = 3.8802(8) {\AA}, c = 13.193(3) {\AA}. The unique structure of (CaO)(FeSe) is built up of a…
The electronic structure of the $(2\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2})R45^{\circ}$ O/Cu(001) system has been calculated using locally self-consistent, real space multiple scattering technique based on first principles. Oxygen atoms are found to perturb…
The electro-magnetic properties of ultrathin epitaxial ruthenate films have long been the subject of debate. Here we combine experimental with theoretical investigations of (SrTiO3)5-(SrRuO3)n-(SrTiO3)5 (STO5-SROn-STO5) heterostructures…
