Frustrated magnetic order in hybrid Kitaev spin-orbital models

Ivan Dutta, Aayush Vijayvargia, Anamitra Mukherjee +2

Spin-orbital generalization of Kitaev model provides a robust extension to the original Kitaev model. However, real materials often exhibit competing interactions that break exact…

Fractionalization, emergent SU() symmetries, and fragmentation in layered quantum spin-orbital models

Pedro M. Cônsoli, Aayush Vijayvargia, Onur Erten

We propose a family of layered quantum spin-orbital models as a platform to study fractionalization, unconventional forms of symmetry-breaking order, and their possible coexistence…
