Emergence of quadrupolar order under magnetic field in double perovskites

Stashu Kozlowski, Derek Churchill, Hae-Young Kee

Motivated by the time-reversal symmetry breaking signal in muon spin relaxation below a transition temperature without accompanying noticeable magnetic Bragg peaks in Os dou…

Microscopic Roadmap to a Yao-Lee Spin-Orbital Liquid

Derek Churchill, Emily Z. Zhang, Hae-Young Kee

The exactly solvable spin-1/2 Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice has drawn significant interest, as it offers a pathway to realizing the long-sought after quantum spin liquid. Bui…

Transforming from Kitaev to Disguised Ising Chain: Application to CoNbO

Derek Churchill, Hae-Young Kee

For many years, CoNbO has served as an exemplar of the one-dimensional Ising model. However, recent experimental and theoretical analyses challenge its applicability to thi…

Field-induced Kitaev multipolar liquid in spin-orbit coupled honeycomb Mott insulators

Ahmed Rayyan, Derek Churchill, Hae-Young Kee

The Kitaev model, characterized by bond-dependent Ising spin interactions among spin-orbit entangled dipole moments in Mott insulators, offered a new approach to quantum spin liqui…

Theoretical analysis of single-ion anisotropy in Mott insulators

Xiaoyu Liu, Derek Churchill, Hae-Young Kee

An effective spin model for Mott insulators is determined by the symmetries involved among magnetic sites, electron fillings, and their interactions. Such a spin Hamiltonian offers…

Competing multipolar orders in a face-centered cubic lattice: Application to the osmium double perovskites

Derek Churchill, Hae-Young Kee

In 5 Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling, the lowest pseudospin states form a non-Kramers doublet, which carries quadrupolar and octupolar moments. A family of dou…

Exchange interactions, Jahn-Teller coupling, and multipole orders in pseudospin one-half Mott insulators

Giniyat Khaliullin, Derek Churchill, P. Peter Stavropoulos +1

We develop a microscopic theory of multipole interactions and orderings in 5 transition metal ion compounds. In a cubic environment, the ground state of 5 ions is a non-K…
