Spinon heat transport in the three-dimensional quantum magnet PbCuTeO
Xiaochen Hong, Matthias Gillig, Abanoub R. N. Hanna +5
Quantum spin liquids (QSL) are novel phases of matter which remain quantum disordered even at the lowest temperature. They are characterized by emergent gauge fields and fractional…
Phonon thermal transport shaped by strong spin-phonon scattering in a Kitaev material NaCoTeO
Xiaochen Hong, Matthias Gillig, Weiliang Yao +7
The recent report of a half-quantized thermal Hall effect in the Kitaev material -RuCl has sparked a strong debate on whether it is generated by Majorana fermion edge curren…
Phononic-magnetic dichotomy of the thermal Hall effect in the Kitaev-Heisenberg candidate material NaCoTeO
Matthias Gillig, Xiaochen Hong, Christoph Wellm +5
Majorana fermions as emergent excitations of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid ground state constitute a promising concept in fault tolerant quantum computation. Experimentally, the r…
Thermal transport of the frustrated spin-chain mineral linarite: Magnetic heat transport and strong spin-phonon scattering
Matthias Gillig, Xiaochen Hong, Piyush Sakrikar +6
The mineral linarite (PbCuSO(OH)) forms a monoclinic structure where a sequence of Cu(OH) units forms a spin- chain. Competing ferromagnetic nearest-neighb…
Unusual heat transport of the Kitaev material NaCoTeO: putative quantum spin liquid and low-energy spin excitations
Xiaochen Hong, Matthias Gillig, Richard Hentrich +10
We studied the field dependent thermal conductivity () of NaCoTeO, a compound considered as the manifestation of the Kitaev model based on the high-spin Co$^{2…
High-field thermal transport properties of the Kitaev quantum magnet alpha-RuCl3: evidence for low-energy excitations beyond the critical field
Richard Hentrich, Xiaochen Hong, Matthias Gillig +11
We investigate the phononic in-plane longitudinal low-temperature thermal conductivity kappa_ab of the Kitaev quantum magnet alpha-RuCl3 for large in-plane magnetic fields up to 33…
