Artificially fabricated 3$d$/5$d$ superlattices (SLs) involve both strongelectron correlation and spin-orbit coupling in one material by means ofinterfacial 3$d$-5$d$ coupling, whose mechanism remains mostly unexplored. Inthis work we investigated the mechanism of interfacial coupling inLaMnO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ SLs by several spectroscopic approaches. Hard x-rayabsorption, magnetic circular dichroism and photoemission spectra evidence thesystematic change of the Ir ferromagnetism and the electronic structure withthe change of the SL repetition period. First-principles calculations furtherreveal the mechanism of the SL-period dependence of the interfacial electronicstructure and the local properties of the Ir moments, confirming that theformation of Ir-Mn molecular orbital is responsible for the interfacialcoupling effects. The SL-period dependence of the ratio between spin andorbital components of the Ir magnetic moments can be attributed to therealignment of electron spin during the formation of the interfacial molecularorbital. Our results clarify the nature of interfacial coupling in thisprototypical 3$d$/5$d$ SL system and the conclusion will shed light on thestudy of other strongly correlated and spin-orbit coupled oxidehetero-interfaces.
