Dynamical Response of the Kitaev Spin Liquid under Third-Nearest-Neighbor Heisenberg Interaction
Chuan Chen, Jiucai Wang
Motivated by growing evidence for the significance of the third-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg () interaction in candidate Kitaev materials, we investigate the dynamical properti…
Evidence for Deconfined Magnetic Order in the Kitaev- Model
Jiucai Wang, Chuan Chen
We investigate the Kitaev- honeycomb model using variational Monte Carlo calculations combined with a vison-quasiparticle analysis of the parent Kitaev spin liquid (KSL). We p…
Pair-density-wave phase of strongly interacting electrons on the triangular lattice: A variational Monte Carlo study
Jiucai Wang, Wen Sun, Hao-Xin Wang +3
A robust theory of the mechanism of pair density wave (PDW) superconductivity (i.e. where Cooper pairs have nonzero center of mass momentum) remains elusive. Here we explore the tr…
Multinode quantum spin liquids in extended Kitaev honeycomb models: the view from variational Monte Carlo
Jiucai Wang, B. Normand, Zheng-Xin Liu
We discuss the discovery by variational Monte Carlo (VMC) methods of a series of multinode quantum spin liquids (QSLs) in extended Kitaev models on the honeycomb lattice. Like the…
