This book is aimed at graduate students, post docs and senior
researchers with preliminary expertise in materials physics or
chemistry, and with an interest in the physical and chemical
properties of 4d- and 5d transition metal oxides, especially
ruthenates and iridates. The 4d- and 5d-transition metal oxides are
among the most current and interesting quantum materials. This book
reviews recent experimental and theoretical evidence that the
physical and structural properties of these materials are
decisively influenced by strong spin-orbit interactions that
compete with comparable Coulomb, magnetic exchange and crystalline
electric field interactions. This competition often leads to
unusual ground states and magnetic frustration that are unique to
this class of materials. Novel coupling between the orbital/lattice
and spin degrees of freedom, which seriously challenge current
theoretical models and are not addressed by traditional textbooks,
are of particular interest, This book also reviews a few techniques
for single-crystal growth that are most suitable for the 4d- and
5d-transition metal oxides. The discussion is intended to help fill
an existing void in the literature describing relevant synthesis
techniques for 4d- and 5d-materials, which is a daunting
experimental challenge.
