Vibronic excitations in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra of K2RuCl6

Naoya Iwahara et al.

Summary: We present the fingerprints of the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of K2RuCl6. We determined the dynamic Jahn-Teller model Hamiltonian of an embedded Ru4+ ion using post-Hartree-Fock methods, and derived the vibronic states by numerically diagonalizing the Hamiltonian. With the obtained vibronic states, we reproduced the RIXS spectra. The shape and the temperature dependence of the RIXS spectrum agree well with the experimental data. We found that some peaks emerge due to the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect rather than the crystal-field splitting. Our paper indicates the significance of the Jahn-Teller coupling to adequately interpret RIXS spectra.

Field-induced Kitaev multipolar liquid in spin-orbit coupled d2 honeycomb Mott insulators

Ahmed Rayyan et al.

Summary: The Kitaev model, characterized by bond-dependent Ising spin interactions in Mott insulators, offers a new approach to quantum spin liquids. Inspired by another type of bond-dependent interaction in 5d2 Mott insulators, we propose a microscopic route to uncover the Kitaev multipolar liquid, featuring fractionalized excitations out of non-Kramers doublets carrying multipole moments. The key component is the magnetic field that enables bond-anisotropic quadrupole-octupole interactions through mixing with excited triplet states. The conditions to observe signatures of this phase in real materials are also discussed.

Spin-orbit coupling controlled ground states in the double perovskite iridates A2BIrO6 (A = Ba, Sr; B = Lu, Sc)

A. A. Aczel et al.

Summary: This article investigates the electronic and magnetic properties of iridates with the 5d(4) electronic configuration. The results show that the Ir5+ ions in these materials have a J = 0 electronic ground state and exhibit weak magnetic signals. However, there is no evidence of long-range magnetic order or spin freezing. The study suggests that the strong spin-orbit coupling is the main driving force behind the magnetic ground states.

Spin-orbit coupling and crystal-field splitting in Ti-doped Ca2RuO4 studied by ellipsometry

I Vergara et al.

Summary: This article discusses the competition between spin-orbit coupling and crystal field splitting in Ca2RuO4, and explains the orbital occupation ratio using optical spectral weights. The study shows that Δ(CF)/ζ is between 2.4 and 4 at 15 K. The crystal field dominates the orbital order of the ground state, but spin-orbit coupling is necessary for a quantitative description of the properties. Furthermore, the crystal field splitting decreases with increasing temperature.

Summary: By performing direct calculations and using advanced first-principles methods, we have determined that the ground state of d(2) double perovskites is composed of ferro-ordered octupoles, and the computed ordering temperature is consistent with experimental observations.

Proximate ferromagnetic state in the Kitaev model material α-RuCl3

H. Suzuki et al.

Summary: The study on alpha-RuCl3 reveals that its candidate status as a quantum spin liquid is compromised by the presence of zigzag antiferromagnetic order at low temperatures, which is destabilized by quantum fluctuations and ultimately leads to a ferromagnetic ground state. The competition among these three states, including ferromagnetism and the Kitaev spin liquid, is crucial for understanding the unusual properties of alpha-RuCl3 in magnetic fields.
