Ferrimagnetic Kitaev spin liquids in mixed spin 1/2 spin 3/2 honeycomb magnets

Willian Natori, Yang Yang, Hui-Ke Jin +2

We explore the potential experimental realization of the mixed-spin Kitaev model in materials such as Zr${}_{0.5}$Ru${}_{0.5}$Cl${}_3$, where spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 ions occupy distinct s…
