Article Synopsis
- 5d iridium oxides, like strontium iridate (Sr₂IrO₄), are being studied for potential new quantum states due to strong spin-orbit coupling and an unconventional Mott insulating state.
- Researchers used polarized neutron diffraction to measure the magnetization density in Sr₂IrO₄, revealing that its distribution is anisotropic and aspherical, differing from the expected j_{eff}=1/2 model.
- The study found that the magnetization density showed a dominant xy orbital contribution, suggesting that the relationship to superconducting copper oxides may not be as strong as previously believed.
The anisotropy of the magnetic properties of molecular magnets is a key descriptor in the search for improved magnets. Herein, it is shown how an analytical approach using single-crystal polarized neutron diffraction (PND) provides direct access to atomic magnetic susceptibility tensors. The technique was applied for the first time to two Dy-based single-molecule magnets and showed clear axial atomic susceptibility for both Dy ions.
