Electron interactions, spin-orbit coupling, intersite correlations in pyrochlore iridates

Runzhi Wang, Ara Go, Andrew J. Millis

We perform combined density functional and dynamical mean-field calculations to study the pyrochlore iridates Lu${}_2$Ir${}_2$O${}_7$, Y${}_2$Ir${}_2$O${}_7$ and Eu${}_2$Ir${}_2$O${}_7$. Both single…
