We report x-ray resonant magnetic scattering and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering studies of epitaxially strained ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{IrO}}_{4}$ thin films. The films were grown on ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ and $({\mathrm{LaAlO}}_{3}{)}_{0.3}({\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{AlTaO}}_{6}{)}_{0.7}$ substrates, under slight tensile and compressive strains, respectively. Although the films develop a magnetic structure reminiscent of bulk ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{IrO}}_{4}$, the magnetic correlations are extremely …
