Our results are compared with those for Sr 2 IrO 4 , for which we provide supplementary data on its magnetic structure. We find that the dominant, long-range antiferromagnetic order is remarkably similar in the two compounds and that the electronic ground state in Ba 2 IrO 4 , deduced from an investigation of the x-ray resonant magnetic scattering L 3 / L 2 intensity ratio, is consistent with a J eff = 1 / 2 description. The robustness of these two key electronic properties to the considerable structural differences between the Ba and Sr analogues is discussed in terms of the enhanced role of the spin-orbit interaction in 5 d transition metal oxides. date: 2013-03-13 date_type: published publisher: AMER PHYSICAL SOC official_url: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.117207 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 840127 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.117207 lyricists_name: McMorrow, Desmond lyricists_name: Perry, Robin lyricists_id: DFMCM17 lyricists_id: RPERR46 actors_name: Perry, Robin actors_id: RPERR46 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Physical Review Letters volume: 110 number: 11 article_number: 117207 pages: 5 citation: Boseggia, S; Springell, R; Walker, HC; Ronnow, HM; Rueegg, C; Okabe, H; Isobe, M; ...
