Between Mott and cluster Mott: spin-orbit entangled dimer singlets in BaCeRuO
L. Pätzold, A. Sandberg, H. Schilling +8
The hexagonal 4d ruthenates Ba3MRu2O9 host structural dimers and exhibit a delicate balance of competing interactions. Hund's coupling, trigonal crystal-field splitting, and hoppin…

Quasimolecular electronic structure of the trimer iridate BaNbIrO
M. Magnaterra, A. Sandberg, H. Schilling +17
The insulating mixed-valent Ir compound BaNbIrO hosts two holes per IrO trimer unit. We address the electronic structure via resonant inelastic…

Spin-orbital-lattice entanglement in the ideal j=1/2 compound KIrCl
P. Warzanowski, M. Magnaterra, Ch. J. Sahle +9
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…
