摘要
The magnetic excitations in electron-doped (Sr1-xLax)(2)IrO4 with x = 0.03 were measured using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the IrL3 edge. Although much broadened, well defined dispersivemagnetic excitations were observed. Comparing with the magnetic dispersion from the undoped compound, the evolution of the magnetic excitations upon doping is highly anisotropic. Along the antinodal direction, the dispersion is almost intact. On the other hand, the magnetic excitations along the nodal direction show significant softening. These results establish the presence of strong magnetic correlations in electron-doped (Sr1-xLax)(2)IrO4 with close analogies to the hole-doped cuprates, further motivating the search for high temperature superconductivity in this system.
