Abstract
Strong electronic correlations in 5d materials such as osmates may combine with spin-orbit coupling to yield novel order. Here, the authors demonstrate how spin-orbit coupling in pyrochlore Cd2Os2O7generates magnetic order and excitations associated with a magnetic metal-insulator transition.
