Sr2IrO4 has been suggested as a Mott insulator from a single J_eff=1/2 band, similar to the cuprates. However this picture is complicated by the measured large magnetic anisotropy and ferromagnetism. Based on a careful mapping to the…

The low-energy electronic structure of the J_{eff}=1/2 spin-orbit insulator Sr3Ir2O7 has been studied by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. A comparison of the results for bilayer Sr3Ir2O7 with available literature data for…

We use the bilayer twisted Hubbard model to study the low energy electronic structure of Sr3Ir2O7. Sr3Ir2O7 is suggested as a Mott insulator and described by the bilayer twisted pseudospin-1/2 model. The bilayer twists in Sr3Ir2O7 bring the…

To examine the insulating mechanism of 5$d$ transition metal oxide Sr$_2$IrO$_4$, we study the ground state properties of a three-orbital Hubbard model with a large relativistic spin-orbit coupling on a square lattice. Using a variational…

We study the magnetic interactions in Mott-Hubbard systems with partially filled $t_{2g}$-levels and with strong spin-orbit coupling. The latter entangles the spin and orbital spaces, and leads to a rich variety of the low energy…

The two-dimensional layered perovskite Sr2IrO4 was proposed to be a spin-orbit Mott insulator, where the effect of Hubbard interaction is amplified on a narrow J_{eff} = 1/2 band due to strong spin-orbit coupling. On the other hand, the…

Spin-orbit entangled magnetic dipoles, often referred to as pseudospins, provide a new avenue to explore novel magnetism inconceivable in the weak spin-orbit coupling limit, but the nature of their low-energy interactions remains to be…

We have investigated the electronic structure of Sr2IrO4 within the density-functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation while taking into account strong Coulomb correlations in the framework of the fully relativistic…

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…

Rubidium superoxide, RbO_2, is a rare example of a solid with partially-filled electronic p states, which allows to study the interplay of spin and orbital order and other effects of strong electronic correlations in a material that is…

Spin-only descriptions of the half-filled one-band Hubbard model are relevant for a wide range of Mott insulators. In addition to the usual Heisenberg exchange, many new types of interactions, including ring exchange, appear in the…

We have studied in detail the electronic structure of IrO$_2$ including spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron interaction, both within the GGA+U and GGA+DMFT approximations. Our calculations reveal that the Ir t$_{2g}$ states at…

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 investigate an experimental toy-model system of a pseudospin-half square-lattice Hubbard Hamiltonian in [(SrIrO3)1/(CaTiO3)1] to include both nontrivial complex hopping and moderate electronic correlation. While the former induces…

Multi-band Mott insulators with moderate spin-orbit and Hund's coupling are key reference points for theoretical concept developments of correlated electron systems. The ruthenate Mott insulator Ca$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$ has therefore been…

Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ has attracted a lot of attention due to its structural and electronic similarities to La$_2$CuO$_4$ which is the parent compound of high-T$_c$ superconducting cuprates. It was proposed to be a strong spin-orbit coupled…

Mott insulators with spin-orbit entangled j=1/2 moments host intriguing magnetic properties. The j=1/2 wave function requires cubic symmetry, while a noncubic crystal field mixes j=1/2 and 3/2 character. Spectroscopic studies of $5d^5$…

The motion of doped electrons or holes in an antiferromagnetic lattice with strong on-site Coulomb interactions touches one of the most fundamental open problems in contemporary condensed matter physics. The doped charge may strongly couple…

An intriguing idea of spin-orbit Mott insulator has been proposed to explain magnetic insulating behavior in various iridates. This scenario relies on the strength of the spin-orbit coupling being comparable to electronic correlations, and…
