Microscopic Theory of the Acoustic Faraday Effect in Spin-Orbit Coupled Magnets

Antoine Matar, Haoting Xu, Hae-Young Kee

The acoustic Faraday effect probes phonon Hall viscosity through the rotation of transverse acoustic polarization, conventionally interpreted in terms of circular birefringence. We…

Emergent low-energy thermodynamics and universal scaling in -RuCl

A. Khansili, B. J. Ramshaw, A. Bangura +6

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which strongly interacting spins remain disordered down to zero temperature and host fractionalized excitations. This has motiva…

Evolution from Kitaev to XXZ spin chains via distortion: Application to BaCoVO

Philip Richard, Mandev Bhullar, Hae-Young Kee

BaCoVO is a prototypical spin-orbit-coupled Ising-chain antiferromagnet that provides a unique platform for studying field-induced quantum magnetism. Under a transverse…

Ferrichiral skyrmions with sublattice-resolved chirality in extended Kitaev model in triangular lattice

Bogeng Wen, Jiefu Cen, Hae-Young Kee

We study an extended Kitaev model on the triangular lattice in a limit where the symmetric off-diagonal bond-dependent and Heisenberg interactions together map onto an XXZ model, i…

Microscopic Theory Revealing Ising Criticality with Distinct Sublattice Orders in Pseudospin-1/2 Chain

Mandev Bhullar, Philip Richard, Hae-Young Kee

The one-dimensional transverse Ising model is a paradigmatic example of quantum criticality. In spin-orbit coupled systems, however, effective Ising interactions arise alongside bo…

Finite-momentum and field-induced pairings in orbital-singlet spin-triplet superconductors

Jonathan Clepkens, Hae-Young Kee

Finite-momentum pairing in a Pauli-limited spin-singlet superconductor arises from the pair-breaking effects of an external Zeeman field, a mechanism which is not applicable in odd…
