Description:
Article 5d transition metal iridates provide a platform to study the combined effects of strong spin orbit coupling and strong electronic correlations. Here, the authors find a quadratic band touching in the band structure of Pr 2 Ir 2 O 7 , suggesting it may be tuned to form various strongly correlated topological phases.
