Selective synthesis and crystal chemistry of candidate rare earth Kitaev materials: honeycomb and hyperhoneycomb NaPrO
Ryutaro Okuma, Kylie MacFarquharson, Radu Coldea
Rare earth oxides have attracted interest as a platform for studying frustrated magnetism arising from bond dependent anisotropic interactions. Ordered rock salt compounds NaPr…

Compass-model physics on the hyperhoneycomb lattice in the extreme spin-orbit regime
Ryutaro Okuma, Kylie MacFarquharson, Roger D. Johnson +3
The physics of spin-orbit entangled magnetic moments of and transition metal ions on a honeycomb lattice has been much explored in search for unconventional magnetic orde…

Anisotropic magnetic interactions in a candidate Kitaev spin liquid close to a metal-insulator transition
Zeyu Ma, Danrui Ni, David A. S. Kaib +6
In the Kitaev honeycomb model, spins coupled by strongly-frustrated anisotropic interactions do not order at low temperature but instead form a quantum spin liquid with spin fracti…
