Thermal and quantum fluctuations in extended Kitaev-Yao-Lee spin-orbital model

Jiefu Cen, Hae-Young Kee

Building upon the spin-1/2 Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice, the Yao-Lee spin-orbital model provides exactly solvable quantum spin liquids with potentially better stability agai…

Ferrichiral skyrmions with sublattice-resolved chirality in extended Kitaev model in triangular lattice

Bogeng Wen, Jiefu Cen, Hae-Young Kee

We study an extended Kitaev model on the triangular lattice in a limit where the symmetric off-diagonal bond-dependent and Heisenberg interactions together map onto an XXZ model, i…

Intermediate phases in -RuCl under in-plane magnetic field via interlayer spin interactions

Jiefu Cen, Hae-Young Kee

-RuCl has attracted significant attention as a prime candidate for the spin-1/2 Kitaev spin liquid in two-dimensional honeycomb lattices. Although its ground state is magnet…

Spin-orbit coupling controlled two-dimensional magnetism in chromium trihalides

Inhee Lee, Jiefu Cen, Oleksandr Molchanov +7

CrX (X = Cl, Br, I) have the same crystal structure and Hamiltonian but different ligand spin-orbit coupling (SOC) constant , providing excellent material platform explori…

Determining Kitaev interaction in spin- honeycomb Mott insulators

Jiefu Cen, Hae-Young Kee

The Kitaev interaction in a honeycomb lattice with higher-spin has been one of the central attractions, as it may offer quantum spin liquids. A microscopic theory showed that w…

Strategy to Extract Kitaev Interaction using Symmetry in Honeycomb Mott Insulators

Jiefu Cen, Hae-Young Kee

The Kitaev spin liquid, a ground state of the bond-dependent Kitaev model in a honeycomb lattice has been a centre of attraction, since a microscopic theory to realize such an inte…
