Magnetization density distribution of Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$: Deviation from a local $j_{\text{eff}}=1/2$ picture

Jaehong Jeong, Benjamin Lenz, Arsen Gukasov +10

$5d$ iridium oxides are of huge interest due to the potential for new quantum states driven by strong spin-orbit coupling. The strontium iridate Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$ is particularly in th…
