TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of the three-dimensional crystal structure using x-ray diffraction on untwinned crystals combined with structural relaxation calculations was performed, and the authors found evidence for a parent crystal structure with a monoclinic unit cell corresponding to a stacking of layers with a unidirectional in-plane offset, in contrast with the currently assumed trigonal three-layer stacking periodicity.

TL;DR: In this article, a single crystal magnetic resonant x-ray diffraction was combined with powder magnetic neutron diffraction to reveal an incommensurate magnetic order in the honeycomb layers with Ir magnetic moments counterrotating on nearest-neighbor sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, single crystals of α-Li2IrO3 can be grown from separated educts in an open crucible in air, and the process is essentially isothermal and a temperature gradient of minor importance.

TL;DR: It is shown that single crystals of α-Li2IrO3 can be grown from separated educts in an open crucible in air and a successful use of this simple and low cost technique for various other materials is anticipated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of collective quantum fluctuations in a spin-textonehalf{} near-Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice were investigated.
