Interplay between Spin-orbit Coupling, Electronic Correlations and Lattice Distortions in Perovskite Iridates
This thesis focuses on the interplay of the spin-orbit coupling, the electronic correlations and the bandwidth energy scales, along with the lattice distortions seen in perovskite iridates. In particular, we study the magnetic phases in these materials and the insulator to metal transition that occu...
