Reentrant incommensurate order and anomalous magnetic torque in the Kitaev magnet $\beta$-${\text{Li}}_2{\text{IrO}}_3$

Mengqun Li, Ioannis Rousochatzakis, Natalia B. Perkins

We present a theoretical study of the response of $\beta$-${\text{Li}}_2{\text{IrO}}_3$ under external magnetic fields in the $ab$, $bc$ and $ac$ crystallographic planes. The results are b…
