Orbital inversion and emergent lattice dynamics in infinite layer
CaCoO$_2$
The layered cobaltate CaCoO$_2$ exhibits a unique herringbone-like structure. Serving as a potential prototype for a new class of complex lattice patterns, we study the properties of CaCoO$_2$ using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). Our results reveal a significant inter-plane hybridization between the Ca $4s-$ …
