Anisotropic interactions opposing magnetocrystalline anisotropy in Sr${}_3$NiIrO${}_6$

E. Lefrançois, A. -M. Pradipto, M. Moretti Sala +6

We report our investigation of the electronic and magnetic excitations of Sr${}_3$NiIrO${}_6$ by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the Ir L${}_3$ edge. The intra-$t_{2g}$ electronic…
