Analysis of the electronic and magnetic properties of honeycomb and triangular lattice iridates — •Ying Li1, Harald O. Jeschke1, Igor I.

Honeycomb lattice iridates have been recently discussed as a possible realization of the Heisenberg-Kitaev model in which the electronic structure is dominated by the spin-orbit (SO) interaction. This picture is still under debate. We present calculations on the electronic structure and optical conductivity of Na2IrO3 within the density functional theory (DFT) method. Our results show that the measured insulator gap and optical conductivity can be reproduced by GGA+SO+U with a magnetic zigzag configuration. Besides, we analyze the optical conductivity on different directions and the contribution due to different states. Further, we also discuss the electronic structure and underlying microscopic model of a few triangular lattice iridates and compare their properties with the behavior of the honeycomb iridates.
