Slater Insulator in Iridate Perovskites with Strong Spin-Orbit Coupling
Slater Insulator in Iridate Perovskites with Strong Spin-Orbit Coupling
The perovskite SrIrO_{3} is an exotic narrow-band metal owing to a confluence of the strengths of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the electron-electron correlations. It has been proposed that topological and magnetic insulating phases can be achieved by tuning the SOC, Hubbard interactions, and/or lattice symmetry. Here, we report that …
