Abstract

<p>Ruthenium compounds have served as a playground for fundamental concepts in modern condensed matter physics, encompassing unconventional superconductivity, Kitaev spin liquids, and solid-state analogues of the Higgs mode in particle physics. Quantitative description of these exotic phenomena requires experimental information on the interaction strengths among the 4d electrons. Our development of a new resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) instrument dedicated to the tender X-ray regime (2–5 keV) allows systematic investigation of magnetic excitations in 4d transition metal compounds. The single magnon dispersion of a high-temperature antiferromagnet SrRu2O6 demonstrates the critical role of spin–orbit coupling in stabilizing the antiferromagnetic order. The magnetic excitation spectra of a Kitaev spin liquid candidate α-RuCl3 points to the dominance of bond-dependent Kitaev interactions. Our results exemplify the capability of state-of-the-art RIXS experiments combined with many-body theory calculations in providing insight into exotic magnetism in prominent model compounds.</p>
