Description
The symposium is focused on recent theoretical and experimental advances in spin-orbit physics in 5d transition metal oxides. In these systems the competition between electronic correlation and strong spin-orbit coupling drive the onset of many exotic electronic and magnetic ground states characterized by tunable bandgap and large anisotropic magnetic interactions (Kitaev and/or spin-compass like). The proximity to a Mott metal-insulator transition in a relativistic background makes 5d oxides quite distinct from other classes of correlated materials and represents a novel paradigm in contemporary condensed matter physics. This symposium includes four invited talks: two experimental overviews on magnetic excitations and kitaev models in iridates, and two theoretical works, focused on the subtle entanglement between magnetism, spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation.Period | 17 Jul 2017 → 21 Jul 2017 |
