Pressure-tuning of $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ towards the ideal Kitaev-limit

Quirin Stahl, Tobias Ritschel, Gaston Garbarino +4

We report the discovery of an intriguing pressure-driven phase transformation in the layered Kitaev-material $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$. By analyzing both the Bragg scattering as well as the dif…
