The main objective of this project is to clarify how local and non-local interactions determine the magnetism of frustrated Ir, Os, and Ru compounds, including their pyrochlore and honeycomb variants. Special attention will be paid to the intricate interplay between crystal field effects, spin-orbit coupling, and covalence. To this end, cutting-edge x-ray spectroscopy experiments at synchrotron light sources will be performed as a function of temperature, applied magnetic field and hydrostatic pressure.
