Majorana Signatures in Planar Tunneling through a Kitaev Spin Liquid
Weiyao Li, Vitor Dantas, Wen-Han Kao +1
We propose a planar tunneling setup to probe vacancy-bound Majorana modes in the chiral Kitaev spin liquid. In this geometry, the inelastic tunneling conductance can be expressed d…

Raman scattering from moiré phonons
Vitor Dantas, Héctor Ochoa, Rafael M. Fernandes +1
We develop a theoretical framework for probing moiré phonon modes using Raman spectroscopy, and illustrate it with the example of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). These moiré phonon…

Phonon dynamics in the site-disordered Kitaev spin liquid
Vitor Dantas, Wen-Han Kao, Natalia B. Perkins
The Kitaev honeycomb model provides a paradigmatic example of an exactly solvable quantum spin liquid (QSL), in which the spin degrees of freedom fractionalize into itinerant Major…
