| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, there have been increasing interests in transition metal oxides with the strong relativistic spin orbit interaction (SOI). This project is a microscopic theoretical study of new exotic quantum phases that emerges as a result of competition and/or corporation of the SOI and the electron correlations. In particular, this project focuses mostly on two dimensional materials with layered perovskite structure with the local electron configuration (t2g)5. The most important finding is that the d-wave superconductivity is induced once electrons is introduced into the Jeff=1/2 Mott insulator such as Sr2IrO4. The insulating mechanism of Sr2IrO4 and the SOI induced Jeff=1/2 Mott are also proposed.
