Bond Directional Anapole Order in a Spin-Orbit Coupled Mott Insulator Sr_{2}(Ir_{1-x}Rh_{x})O_{4}

An anapole state that breaks inversion and time-reversal symmetries while preserving translation symmetry of an underlying lattice has aroused great interest as a new quantum state, but only a few candidate materials have been reported. Recently, in a spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator Sr_{2}(Ir_{1-x...
