Electron quasi-itinerancy intertwined with quantum order by disorder in pyrochlore iridate magnetism
We point out the emergence of magnetism from the interplay of electron quasi-itinerancy and quantum order by disorder in pyrochlore iridates. Like other Mott insulating iridates, the Ir^{4+} ion in pyrochlore iridates develops an effective J=1/2 moment from the on-site spin-orbit coupling. We consid...
