Title : Quantum spin nematic phase in a square-lattice iridate

- Lecturer : Hoon Kim [Caltech, USA

Abstract: 

Spin nematic (SN) is a magnetic analogue of classical liquid crystals, a fourth state of matter exhibiting characteristics of both liquid and solid [1,2]. This elusive phase of matter is often manifested by a spontaneous symmetry breaking with spin-quadrupole order; however, its experimental observation has been limited to indirect approaches [3,4], given that the spin-quadrupole moments preserve the time-reversal symmetry and thus are insensitive to most experimental probes.

In this talk, we propose a SN phase in the square-lattice iridate Sr2IrO4, which approximately realizes a pseudospin one-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet (AF) in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit. Much research on this compound has focused on its analogy with high-Tc cuprates [5]. Here, a new possibility is explored by three experimental probes, which, when taken together, suggest the formation of a SN phase at around 263 K: (i) polarization-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, (ii) circular-dichroic resonant x-ray diffraction, and (iii) Raman spectroscopy. Our results reveal a quantum order underlying the Néel AF that is widely believed to be intimately connected to the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity [6].
