The electronic structure of Pr2Ir2O7 contains a quadratic band touching, which is expected to lead to unusual interaction-driven behavior. Here, the authors use spectroscopic measurements to observe signatures of strong interactions but also that Fermi liquid behavior is retained at low temperatures.
