Read moreTo accurately determine relative energies of the electrons and signatures of the spin-orbit interaction in an oxide material, researchers performed resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The results reveal divergent behavior than found from RIXS measurements in related iridates that are candidates for developing high-temperature superconductors.
