The monoclinic crystal structure of $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ and the zigzag antiferromagnetic ground state

R. D. Johnson, S. Williams, A. A. Haghighirad +8

The layered honeycomb magnet alpha-RuCl3 has been proposed as a candidate to realize a Kitaev spin model with strongly frustrated, bond-dependent, anisotropic interactions between…
