5d iridium oxides are of huge interest due to the potential for new quantum states driven by strong spin-orbit coupling. The jeff=1/2 state of Sr2IrO4 is such a state and consists of a quantum superposition of the three t2g orbitals with nearly equal population, which stabilizes an unconventional Mott insulating state.
Here, we report an anisotropic and aspherical magnetization density distribution measured by polarized neutron diffraction in a magnetic field up to 5T at 4K, which strongly deviates from a local jeff=1/2 picture. Theoretical considerations based on a momentum-dependent composition of the jeff=1/2 orbital and an estimation of the different contributions to the magnetization density casts the applicability of an effective one-orbital jeff=1/2 Hubbard model into doubt.
The analogy to the superconducting copper oxide systems might thus be weaker than commonly thought.
