Temperature evolution of the phonon dynamics in the Kitaev spin liquid
Kexin Feng, Mengxing Ye, Natalia B. Perkins
Here we present a study of the phonon dynamics in the honeycomb Kitaev spin model at finite temperatures. We show that the fractionalized spin excitations of the Kitaev spin liquid…

Further insights into the thermodynamics of the Kitaev honeycomb model
Kexin Feng, Natalia B. Perkins, F. J. Burnell
Here we revisit the thermodynamics of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid realized on the honeycomb lattice. We address two main questions: First, we investigate whether there are obser…
