Kitaev magnetism through the prism of lithium iridate

arXiv:2103.14073 · doi:10.1002/pssb.202100146

Abstract

Fifteen years since its inception, the Kitaev model still boasts only a narrow group of material realizations. We review the progress in studying and understanding one of them, lithium iridate Li $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ available in three polymorphs that host strong Kitaev interactions on spin lattices of different dimensionality and topology. We also discuss feasibility, effectiveness, and repercussions of tuning strategies based on the application of external pressure and chemical substitutions.
