Magnetic Excitations across the Metal-Insulator Transition in the Pyrochlore Iridate Eu2Ir2O7

Magnetic Excitations across the Metal-Insulator Transition in the Pyrochlore Iridate Eu2Ir2O7

We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of the magnetic excitation spectrum in a highly insulating Eu_{2}Ir_{2}O_{7} single crystal that exhibits a metal-insulator transition at T_{MI}=111(7) K. A propagating magnon mode with a 20 meV bandwidth and a 28 meV magnon gap is found in the excitation spectrum at …
