Microscopic Theory of the Phonon Thermal Hall Effect in Chiral Mott Insulators
Junha Kang, Taekoo Oh
The thermal Hall effect (THE) probes charge-neutral excitations in insulators, where the charge gap blocks electronic transport. Recently, phonons have been shown to induce a THE c…

Thermal Hall effect induced by phonon skew-scattering via orbital magnetization
Taekoo Oh
Thermal transport acts as a powerful tool for studying the excitations and physical properties of insulators, where a charge gap suppresses electronic conduction. Recently, the the…

Spin-phonon coupling and thermal Hall effect in the Kitaev model
Taekoo Oh, Naoto Nagaosa
The Kitaev model, which involves bond-direction-dependent spin interactions on a honeycomb lattice, has attracted significant interest due to its exact solvability and potential us…
