Sheptyakov, S. D. Kaushik, Vasudeva Siruguri, Carlo Meneghini, D. D. Sarma, Indra Dasgupta, and Sugata Ray We show using detailed magnetic and thermodynamic studies and theoretical calculations that the ground state of Ba 3 ZnIr 2 O 9 is a realization of a novel spin-orbital liquid state. Our results reveal that Ba 3 ZnIr 2 O 9 with Ir 5 + ( 5 d 4 ) ions and strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) arrives very close to the elu… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 097205] Published Thu Mar 03, 2016
