通过求解Bethe-Salpeter方程（BSE）研究了Ruddlesden-Popper系列铱酸盐Sr $_{n+1}$ Ir $_n$ O $_{3n+1}$（$n$ =1，2和$\infty$）的光学性质，其中准粒子（QP）能量和屏蔽相互作用$W$由包含自旋轨道耦合的$GW$近似得到.计算的光学电导率谱显示出很强的激子效应，并很好地再现了实验观察到的双峰结构，特别是自旋轨道莫特绝缘体Sr $_2$ IrO $_4$和Sr $_3$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$。然而，$GW$不能很好地解释SrIrO $_3$的相关金属态，这是由于太小的能带重整化，这影响了光学电导率的整体质量。我们的分析很好地描述了作为维数（$n$）的函数的主要光学峰的渐进红移，这与电子相关性（由约束随机相位近似量化）向金属$n=\infty$极限的逐渐降低相关。我们还评估了一种计算成本更低的BSE方法的质量，该方法基于模型介电函数并在DFT+ $U$单电子能量之上进行。不幸的是，该模型BSE方法不能准确地再现完整的$GW$ +BSE方法的结果，并导致测量光谱的较大偏差。
英文摘要：
We study the optical properties of the Ruddlesden-Popper series of iridates Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_n$O$_{3n+1}$ ($n$=1, 2 and $\infty$) by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), where the quasiparticle (QP) energies and screened interactions $W$ are obtained by the $GW$ approximation including spin-orbit coupling. The computed optical conductivity spectra show strong excitonic effects and reproduce very well the experimentally observed double-peak structure, in particular for the spin-orbital Mott insulators Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ and Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$. However, $GW$ does not account well for the correlated metallic state of SrIrO$_3$ owing to a much too small band renormalization, and this affects the overall quality of the optical conductivity. Our analysis describes well the progressive redshift of the main optical peaks as a function of dimensionality ($n$), which is correlated with the gradual decrease of the electronic correlation (quantified by the constrained random phase approximation) towards the metallic $n=\infty$ limit. We have also assessed the quality of a computationally cheaper BSE approach that is based on a model dielectric function and conducted on top of DFT+$U$ one-electron energies. Unfortunately, this model BSE approach does not accurately reproduce the outcome of the full $GW$+BSE method and leads to larger deviations to the measured spectra.
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering data for Ruddlesden-Popper and reduced Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates
Ruddlesden-Popper和还原Ruddlesden-Popper镍酸盐是模拟高温超导铜酸盐性质的有趣候选者。这些镍酸盐和铜酸盐之间的相似程度一直是相当大的辩论的主题。共振非弹性X射线散射（RIXS）在探索它们的电子和磁激发方面发挥了重要作用，但这些努力因不同样品之间的不一致性和缺乏公开可用的数据进行详细比较而受到阻碍。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了开放RIXS数据La 4 Ni 3 O 10和La 4 Ni 3 O 8。
Magnetism in artificial Ruddlesden-Popper iridates leveraged by structural distortions
我们报道了由单层和双层SrIrO $_3$与SrTiO $_3$间隔组成的超晶格中磁相互作用的调谐。磁散射显示占主导地位的$c$轴反铁磁取向的磁矩的双层证明这些系统作为可行的人工类似物的散装Ruddlesden-Popper系列铱酸盐。在两种超晶格中均观察到磁振子能隙，双层中的能隙大小减小到其体结构类似物Sr $_3$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$的近一半。我们将此分配给修改的各向异性交换驱动的弯曲的$c$轴Ir-O-Ir键和随后的局部环境的变化，通过X射线衍射检测和使用自旋波理论建模。这些发现解释了即使是由虹膜状结构中的异质结构驱动的细微结构调制，也是如何通过自旋轨道耦合来驱动磁相互作用的巨大变化的。
Electronic structure of higher-order Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates
我们用第一性原理计算分析了最近合成的高阶镍酸盐Ruddlesden-Popper相La $_{n+1}$ Ni $_n$ O $_{3n+1}$（$n=4-6$）的电子结构.对于所有的材料，我们的研究结果表明，大的孔状费米表面与$d_{x^2-y^2}$字符，非常类似的最佳空穴掺杂的铜酸盐。对于较高的$n$值，额外的非铜酸盐样带的$d_{z^2}$轨道特征出现。这些方面突出表明，该Ruddlesden-Popper系列可以提供一种通过调节镍酸盐的维度来修改其电子基态的手段。由于它们与铜酸盐的相似性和差异性，这种新的材料家族可能会揭示铜基氧化物的物理学。

采用反应分子束外延技术制备了一系列Ruddlesden-Popper镍酸盐（Nd $_{n+1}$ Ni $_{n}$ O $_{3n+1}$（${n}$ = 1-5））的稳定薄膜。X射线衍射和扫描透射电子显微镜证实了高结晶质量。X射线光电子能谱学表明这些化合物中镍的${n}$依赖价态。金属-绝缘体转变显示出明显的${n}$依赖于中间成员（${n}$ = 3-5），其低温电阻率显示对数依赖性，类似于在超导无限层镍酸盐的母体化合物中观察到的Kondo散射。

Bandwidth-Controlled Insulator-Metal Transition and Correlated Metallic State in 5$d$ Transition Metal Oxides Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_{n}$O$_{3n+1}$ ($n$=1, 2, and $\infty$)
我们利用光谱学和第一性原理计算研究了5 $d$ Ruddlesden-Popper系列Sr $_{n+1}$ Ir $_{n}$ O $_{3n+1}$（$n$ =1，2和$\infty$）的电子结构.由于5个$d$轨道在空间上比3个$d$或4个$d$轨道延伸得更远，因此人们普遍认为5个$d$化合物中的相关效应最小。然而，当我们增加$n$时，我们观察到从Mott绝缘体到金属的带宽控制过渡。此外，人工合成的钙钛矿SrIrO $_{3}$显示出约6的非常大的质量增强，表明其处于相关金属状态。
