The high-energy collective modes of particle-hole excitations across the spin-orbit gap in $\rm Sr_2IrO_4$ are investigated using the transformed Coulomb interaction terms in the pseudo-spin-orbital basis constituted by the $J=1/2$ and…
By transforming from the pure-spin-orbital ($t_{\rm 2g}$) basis to the spin-orbital entangled pseudo-spin-orbital basis, the pseudo-spin rotation symmetry of the different Coulomb interaction terms is investigated under SU(2) transformation…
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.…
We employ the Gutzwiller variational approach to investigate the interplay of Coulomb interaction and spin-orbit coupling in a three-orbital Hubbard model. Already in the paramagnetic phase we find a substantial renormalization of the…
The role of spin-orbit coupling and Hund's rule coupling on magnetic ordering, anisotropy, and excitations are investigated within a minimal three-orbital model for the $5d^3$ compound $\rm Na Os O_3$. Asymmetry between the magnetic moments…
Characterizing non-local magnetic fluctuations in materials with strong electronic Coulomb interactions remains one of the major outstanding challenges of modern condensed matter theory. In this work we address the spatial symmetry and…
We investigate the role of Hund's coupling in the spin-wave excitations of the ($\pi, 0$) ordered magnetic state within a five-orbital tight-binding model for iron pnictides. To differentiate between the roles of intraorbital Coulomb…
We study the elementary excitations in 5d transition metal oxideSr$_2$IrO$_4$ by calculating the particle-hole Green's function within the random phase approximation on an antiferromagnetic ground state in the two-dimensional multi-orbital…
Transition metal compounds with the $(t_{2g})^4$ electronic configuration are expected to be nonmagnetic atomic singlets both in the weakly interacting regime due to spin-orbit coupling, as well as in the Coulomb dominated regime with…
Motivated by recent experiments exploring the spin-orbit-coupled magnetism in $4d$- and $5d$-band transition metal oxides, we study magnetic interactions in Ir- and Rh-based compounds. In these systems, the comparable strength of spin-orbit…
We report neutron scattering experiments which reveal a large spin gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum of weakly-monoclinic double perovskite Sr2ScOsO6. The spin gap is demonstrative of appreciable spin-orbit-induced anisotropy, despite…
The collective magnetic excitations in the spin-orbit Mott insulator (Sr$_{1-x}$La$_x$)$_2$IrO$_4$ ($x=0,\,0.01,\,0.04,\, 0.1$) were investigated by means of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. We report significant magnon energy gaps at…
We investigate the ground-state property and the excitation gap of a one-dimensional spin-orbital model with isotropic spin and anisotropic orbital exchange interactions, which represents the strong-coupling limit of a two-orbital Hubbard…
On the basis of the multi-orbital dynamical mean field theory, a three-orbital Hubbard model with a relativistic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is studied at five electrons per site. The numerical calculations are performed by employing the…
We study the spin-spin coupling between two single-electron quantum dots due to the Coulomb and spin-orbit interactions, in the absence of tunneling between the dots. We find an anisotropic XY spin-spin interaction that is proportional to…
We present a microscopic model for the anisotropic exchange interactions in Sr$_{2}$IrO$_{4}$. A direct construction of Wannier functions from first-principles calculations proves the $j_{\mathrm{eff}}$=1/2 character of the spin-orbit…
We use Ru $L_3$-edge (2838.5 eV) resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to quantify the electronic structure of Ca$_2$RuO$_4$, a layered $4d$-electron compound that exhibits a correlation-driven metal-insulator transition and…
A unified approach is presented for investigating coupled spin-orbital fluctuations within a realistic three-orbital model for strongly spin-orbit coupled systems with electron fillings $n=3,4,5$ in the $t_{2g}$ sector of…
We study possible superconductivity in a carrier-doped iridium oxide insulator Sr$_{2}$IrO$_{4}$ based on an effective $t_{2g}$ three-orbital Hubbard model on the square lattice with a large spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Numerically solving…
This paper contains the details of Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 2919 (1994) and, to a lesser extent, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 3710 (1994). We treat a Hubbard model which includes all the 3d states of the Cu ions and the 2p states of the O ions. We also…
