Electronic structure and optical properties of Sr2IrO4 under epitaxial strain

We study the modification of the electronic structure in the strong spin–orbit coupled Sr _2 IrO _4 by epitaxial strain using density-functional methods. Structural optimization shows that strain changes the internal structural parameters such as the Ir–O–Ir bond angle, which has an important effect...
