Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of α-RuCl3: a progress report

Ru M3-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements of α-RuCl3 with 27 meV resolution uncovers a spin-orbit exciton without noticeable splitting. Here, we extract values for the spin-orbit coupling constant (λ= 154 ± 2 meV) and trigonal distortion field energy (|Δ|< 65 meV) which s...
