Magnetoelectric generation of a Majorana-Fermi surface in Kitaev's honeycomb model
Rajas Chari, Roderich Moessner, Jeffrey G. Rau
We study the effects of static magnetic and electric fields on Kitaev's honeycomb model. Using the electric polarization operator appropriate for Kitaev materials, we derive the ef…
Unravelling competing microscopic interactions at a phase boundary: a single crystal study of the metastable antiferromagnetic pyrochlore YbGeO
C. L. Sarkis, J. G. Rau, L. D. Sanjeewa +10
We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements from our newly synthesized single crystals of the structurally metastable antiferromagnetic pyrochlore YbGeO.…
Multi-phase competition in quantum pyrochlore antiferromagnet CdYbSe: zero and applied magnetic field study
K. Guratinder, Jeffrey G. Rau, V. Tsurkan +9
We study magnetic behaviour of the Yb ions on a frustrated pyrochlore lattice in the spinel {\CYS}. The crystal-electric field parameters deduced from high-energy inelastic…
Non-Hermitian topology of spontaneous magnon decay
Paul A. McClarty, Jeffrey G. Rau
Spontaneous magnon decay is a generic feature of the magnetic excitations of anisotropic magnets and isotropic magnets with non-collinear order. In this paper, we argue that the ef…
Magnon interactions in the frustrated pyrochlore ferromagnet YbTiO
Jeffrey G. Rau, Roderich Moessner, Paul A. McClarty
The frustrated rare-earth pyrochlore YbTiO is remarkable among magnetic materials: despite a ferromagnetically ordered ground state it exhibits a broad, nearly gapless,…
Behavior of the breathing pyrochlore lattice BaYbZnO in applied magnetic field
J. G. Rau, L. S. Wu, A. F. May +9
The breathing pyrochlore lattice material BaYbZnO exists in the nearly decoupled limit, in contrast to most other well-studied breathing pyrochlore compounds. As…
