Title: Sr₂IrO₄: Gateway to cuprate superconductivity?

Abstract

High temperature superconductivity in cuprates remains a defining challenge in condensed matter physics. Recently, a new set of related compounds based on Ir rather than Cu has been discovered that may be on the verge of superconductivity themselves or be able to shed new light on the underlying interactions responsible for superconductivity in the cuprates.

Sr ₂ IrO ₄ : Gateway to cuprate superconductivity?

Journal Article Mitchell, J. F. - APL Materials

To understand the varied magnetic and electronic properties of 3d transition metal oxides (TMO), we routinely invoke a separability among charge-, spin- and orbital degrees of freedom, tightly coupled yet distinct sectors that can be identified, measured, and understood individually. But something interesting happens on the way down the Periodic Table—relativistic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) grows progressively stronger, blurring the lines among these spin, charge, and orbital sectors. SOC forces us to consider a different conceptual framework for 4d, and particularly 5d TMO systems, than has been sufficient for our present day understanding of 3d analogs. Ironically, this rethinking needed formore »« less

Interface-engineered hole doping in Sr₂IrO₄/LaNiO₃ heterostructure

Journal Article Wen, Fangdi ; Liu, Xiaoran ; Zhang, Qinghua ; ... - New Journal of Physics

The relativistic Mott insulator Sr₂IrO₄ driven by large spin-orbit interaction is known for the J_eff = 1/2 antiferromagnetic state which closely resembles the electronic structure of parent compounds of superconducting cuprates. Here, we report the realization of hole-doped Sr₂IrO₄ by means of interfacial charge transfer in Sr₂IrO₄/LaNiO₃ heterostructures. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on Ir 4f edge along with the x-ray absorption spectroscopy at Ni L ₂ edge confirmed that 5d electrons from Ir sites are transferred onto Ni sites, leading to markedly electronic reconstruction at the interface. Although the Sr₂IrO₄/LaNiO₃ heterostructure remains non-metallic, we reveal that the transport behavior is nomore »« less

Magnetic excitations in hole-doped Sr₂IrO₄: Comparison with electron-doped cuprates

Journal Article Clancy, J P ; Gretarsson, H. ; Upton, M. H. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We have studied the evolution of magnetic and orbital excitations as a function of hole doping in single-crystal samples of Sr₂Ir_1-xRh_xO₄(0.07≤x≤0.42) using high-resolution Ir L₃-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. Within the antiferromagnetically ordered region of the phase diagram (x≤0.17) we observe highly dispersive magnon and spin-orbit exciton modes. Interestingly, both the magnon gap energy and the magnon bandwidth appear to increase as a function of doping, resulting in a hardening of the magnon mode with increasing hole doping. As a result, the observed spin dynamics of hole-doped iridates more closely resemble those of the electron-doped, rather than hole-doped, cuprates. Withinmore »« less

New insulating antiferromagnetic quaternary iridates MLa₁₀Ir₄O₂₄ (M=Sr, Ba)

Journal Article Zhao, Qingbiao ; Han, Fei ; Stoumpos, Constantinos C. ; ... - Scientific Reports

Recently, oxides of Ir4+ have received renewed attention in the condensed matter physics community, as it was reported that certain such iridates have a strongly spin-orbital coupled (SOC) electronic state, Jeff=½. As a consequence, the critical ratio of bandwidth to Coulomb repulsion, W/U, in these extended solids lies close to unity, with an ensuing Mott insulating ground state. The canonical example for such physics is the Ruddlesden-Popper compound Sr2IrO4, which has been suggested as a potential route to a new class of high temperature superconductor due to the formal analogy between Jeff = ½ and the S = ½ statemore »« less

Charge partitioning and anomalous hole doping in Rh-doped ${Sr}_{2} {IrO}_{4}$

Journal Article Chikara, S. ; Fabbris, G. ; Terzic, J. ; ... - Physical Review B

The simultaneous presence of sizable spin-orbit interactions and electron correlations in iridium oxides has led to predictions of novel ground states including Dirac semimetals, Kitaev spin liquids, and superconductivity. Electron and hole doping studies of spin-orbit assisted Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 are being intensively pursued due to extensive parallels with the La2CuO4 parent compound of cuprate superconductors. In particular, the mechanism of charge doping associated with replacement of Ir with Rh ions remains controversial with profound consequences for the interpretation of electronic structure and transport data. Using x-ray absorption near edge structure measurements at the Rh L, K, and Ir Lmore »« less
