Abstract
The collective magnetic excitations in the spin-orbit Mott insulator (Sr_(1−x)La_x)_2IrO_4 (x=0, 0.01, 0.04, 0.1) were investigated by means of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. We report significant magnon energy gaps at both the crystallographic and antiferromagnetic zone centers at all doping levels, along with a remarkably pronounced momentum-dependent lifetime broadening. The spin-wave gap is accounted for by a significant anisotropy in the interactions between J_(eff)=1/2 isospins, thus marking the departure of Sr_2IrO_4 from the essentially isotropic Heisenberg model appropriate for the superconducting cuprates.
