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…

High resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has proven particularly effective in the determination of crystal field and spin excitations in cuprates. Its strength lies in the large Cu $L_{3}$ resonance and in the fact that…

The superconducting gap is a characteristic feature of high-T$_c$ superconductors and provides crucial information on the pairing mechanism underlying high-temperature superconductivity. Here, we employ high-resolution resonant inelastic…

We report a comprehensive Cu $K$-edge RIXS investigation of $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ (LSCO) for 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.35, stripe-ordered $\rm La_{1.875}Ba_{0.125}CuO_4$ (LBCO), and $\rm La_{2}Cu_{0.96}Ni_{0.04}O_4$ (LCNO) crystals. The RIXS…

Ilmenites $AB$O$_3$ provide a platform for electron correlation and magnetism on alternatively stacked honeycomb layers of edge-sharing $A$O$_6$ or $B$O$_6$ octahedra. When $A$ and $B$ are $3d$ transition metals, strong electron correlation…

I critically examine Goodenough's explanation for the experimentally observed phase transition in LiVO$_2$ using microscopic calculations based on density functional and dynamical mean field theories. The high-temperature rhombohedral phase…

A $t_{2g}^5$ system with a honeycomb lattice structure such as Na$_2$IrO$_3$ was firstly proposed as a topological insulator even though Na$_2$IrO$_3$ and its isostructural materials in nature have been turned out to be a Mott insulator…

Spin excitations in the overdoped high temperature superconductors Tl$_2$Ba$_2$CuO$_{6+\delta}$ and (Bi,Pb)$_2$(Sr,La)$_{2}$CuO$_{6+\delta}$ were investigated by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) as functions of doping and detuning…

A polymorph of RuI$_3$ synthesized under high pressure was found to have a two-layered honeycomb structure. The resistivity of RuI$_3$ exhibits a semimetallic behavior, in contrast to insulating properties in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. In addition,…

We report a systematic study of the transition from a band insulator (BI) to a Mott insulator (MI) in a one-dimensional Hubbard model at half-filling with an on-site Coulomb interaction U and an alternating periodic site potential V. We…

Novel phases of two dimensional electron systems resulting from new surface or interface modified electronic structures have generated significant interest in material science. We utilize photoemission spectroscopy to show that the…

Transition metal oxides display a great variety of quantum electronic behaviours where correlations often play an important role. The achievement of high quality epitaxial interfaces involving such materials gives a unique opportunity to…

We consider the dimer Hubbard model within Dynamical Mean Field Theory to study the interplay and competition between Mott and Peierls physics. We describe the various metal-insulator transition lines of the phase diagram and the break down…

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…

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…

We report Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) study of the magnetic excitation spectrum in a highly insulating Eu$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ single crystal that exhibits a metal-insulator transition at $T_{MI}$ = 111(7) K. A propagating…

We present Ru $L_3$-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements of spin-orbit and d-d excitations in exfoliated nanolayers of the Kitaev spin-liquid candidate RuCl$_3$. Whereas the spin-orbit excitations are independent of…

In strongly correlated systems the complete determination of the dynamical susceptibility $\chi(\textbf{q}, \omega)$ is of special relevance because of the entwinement of the spin and charge components. Although Resonant Inelastic X-Ray…

We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of charge excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional Mott insulator SrCuO2. We observe a continuum of low-energy excitations, in which a highly dispersive feature with a large sinusoidal…

Nonresonant inelastic light and X-ray scattering is investigated for the spinless Falicov-Kimball model on an infinite-dimensional hypercubic lattice with a charge-density-wave phase at half filling. The many-body density of states (DOS) is…
