We consider the effect of a local interatomic repulsion on synthetic heterostructures where a discrete synthetic dimension is created by Raman processes on top of $SU(N)$-symmetric two-dimensional lattice systems. At a filling of one…
The Heisenberg-Kitaev model is a paradigmatic model to describe the magnetism in honeycomb-lattice Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling, such as A$_2$IrO$_3$ (A = Na, Li) and $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. Here we study in detail the physics…
Materials that realize Kitaev spin models with bond-dependent anisotropic interactions have long been searched for, as the resulting frustration effects are predicted to stabilize novel forms of magnetic order or quantum spin liquids. Here…
We point out that the Kitaev materials may not necessarily support Kitaev spin liquid. It is well-known that having a Kitaev term in the spin interaction is not the sufficient condition for the Kitaev spin liquid ground state. Many other…
Using Raman spectroscopy to study the correlated 4$d$-electron metal Sr$_2$RhO$_4$, we observe pronounced excitations at 220 meV and 240 meV with $A_\mathrm{1g}$ and $B_\mathrm{1g}$ symmetries, respectively. We identify them as transitions…
In quantum magnetism spin dimers are typically associated with spin-singlet states. To date, $triplet$ $dimerization$ has not been observed in any 3D or quasi-2D material. With this in mind we here discuss the electronic structure of the…
Mott insulators are commonly pictured with electrons localized on lattice sites. Their low-energy degrees of freedom involve spins only. Here we observe emerging charge degrees of freedom in a molecule-based Mott insulator…
Magnetic materials are composed of the simple building blocks of magnetic moments on a crystal lattice that interact via magnetic exchange. Yet from this simplicity emerges a remarkable diversity of magnetic states. Some reveal the deep…
The quest for exotic quantum magnetic ground states, including the Kitaev spin liquid and quantum spin-ices, has led to the discovery of several quantum materials where low energy pseudospin-$1/2$ doublets arise from the splitting of…
Hidden multipolar orders in spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulators provide a promising setting for correlated quantum matter, yet their control and detection remain major challenges. Here, we demonstrate that circularly polarized light enables…
Transition metal dichalcogenide, especially MoS2 has attracted lot of attention recently owing to its tunable visible range band gap and anisotropic electronic and transport properties. Here, we report a comprehensive inelastic light…
We study theoretically the Raman scattering spectra in the one-dimensional (1D) quantum spin-1/2 antiferromagnets. The analysis reveals that their low-energy dynamics is exquisitely sensitive to various perturbations to the Heisenberg chain…
We calculate the total electronic Raman scattering spectrum for a system with a charge density wave on an infinite-dimensional hypercubic lattice. The problem is solved exactly for the spinless Falicov-Kimball model with dynamical…
We present results of low-temperature two-magnon resonance Raman excitation profile measurements for single layer Sr_2CuO_2Cl_2 and bilayer YBa_2Cu_3O_{6 + \delta} antiferromagnets over the excitation region from 1.65 to 3.05 eV. These data…
2D magnetism in triangular lattices has already shown potential for hosting exotic magnetic states. Control of these magnetic states, both in terms of magnetic properties and in terms of charge doping would be the next step. This makes…
Motivated by recent experiments on Mott insulators, in both iridates and ultracold atoms, we theoretically study the effects of magnetic order on the Mott-Hubbard excitons. In particular, we focus on spin-mediated doublon-holon pairing in…
The subtle interplay between competing degrees of freedom, anisotropy, and spin correlations in frustrated Kitaev quantum materials offers an ideal platform to host non-trivial quantum states with exotic fractional excitations. The…
Kitaev-type interactions between neighbouring magnetic moments emerge in the honeycomb material ${\alpha}$-RuCl3. It is debated however whether these Kitaev interactions are ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. With electron energy loss…
The quest for entangled spin excitations has stimulated intense research on frustrated magnetic systems. For almost two decades, the triangular-lattice Mott insulator $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$ has been the hottest candidate for…
We present an ab initio computational approach for the calculation of resonant Raman intensities, including both excitonic and non-adiabatic effects. Our diagrammatic approach, which we apply to two prototype, semiconducting layered…
