Unveiling the origin of the basal-plane antiferromagnetism in the spin–orbit Mott insulator Ba2IrO4: a density functional and model Hamiltonian study

Based on the density functional theory and model Hamiltonian, we studied the basal-plane antiferromagnetism in the spin–orbit Mott insulator Ba _2 IrO _4 . By comparing the magnetic properties of the bulk Ba _2 IrO _4 with those of the single-layer Ba _2 IrO _4 , we demonstrate unambiguously that th...
