Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic excitation spectra of Sr2IrO4 probed by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering: establishing links to cuprate superconductors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to reveal the nature of magnetic interactions in Sr2IrO4, a 5d transition-metal oxide with a spin-orbit entangled ground state and J(eff)=1/2 magnetic moments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal stability and electronic structure of atomically uniform Pb films on Si(111).

TL;DR: Atomically uniform Pb films are successfully prepared on Si(111), despite a large lattice mismatch, and Angle-resolving photoemission measurements of the electronic structure show layer-resolved quantum well states which can be correlated with dramatic variations in thermal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large Spin-Wave Energy Gap in the Bilayer Iridate Sr3Ir2O7: Evidence for Enhanced Dipolar Interactions Near the Mott Metal-Insulator Transition

TL;DR: It is found that the giant magnon gap results from bond-directional pseudod bipolar interactions that are strongly enhanced near the metal-insulator transition boundary, suggesting that novel magnetism, such as that inspired by the Kitaev model built on the pseudodipolar interactions, may emerge in small charge-gap iridates.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray Spectroscopic Characterization of Co(IV) and Metal–Metal Interactions in Co4O4: Electronic Structure Contributions to the Formation of High-Valent States Relevant to the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

TL;DR: A wide range of complementary X-ray spectroscopies coupled to DFT calculations are used to study Co(III)4O4 cubanes and their first oxidized derivatives, which provide insight into the high-valent Co(IV) centers responsible for the activity of molecular and heterogeneous OER catalysts.
