Bulk nature of layered perovskite iridates beyond the Mott scenario: An approach from a bulk-sensitive photoemission study

Abstract: We present genuine bulk Ir 5d j eff states of layered perovskite iridates obtained by hard-x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) with s-and p-polarized lights. HAXPES spectra of Sr 2 IrO 4 and Ba 2 IrO 4 are well reproduced by the quasiparticle density of states calculated by the local density approximation with dynamical mean-field theory (LDA + DMFT). It is demonstrated that the insulating nature of the iridates is triggered by antiferromagnetic correlation (Slater type) combined with electron correlatio… Show more

“…It is interesting to note the RIXS spectra of BaFe 2 Se 3 are dominated by ddexcitations, which are typically strongly suppressed in the iron pnictides [47], this suggests a larger U in BaFe 2 Se 3 compared to the iron pnictides. Similar crossover between Mott-type and Slater-type insulating behavior has been discussed for the iridates Sr 2 IrO 4 [79][80][81] and Nd 2 Ir 2 O 7 [82].…”

“…A number of experimental results are consistent with this scenario 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 . Moreover, in addition to the J eff = 1/2 Mott scenario 7 , the slater-type mechanism is also found to be important in the formation of the insulating ground state in Sr 2 IrO 4 20 21 22 . A consensus that has been reached is Sr 2 IrO 4 being a typical system where the Mott- and slater-type behaviors coexist.…”
