Generic model for hyperkagome iridate in the local moment regime

Tomonari Mizoguchi, Kyusung Hwang, Eric Kin-Ho Lee +1

Hyperkagome iridate, NaIrO, has been regarded as a promising candidate material for a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid. Here the three-dimensional network of corne…

Two iridates, two models, two approaches: a comparative study on magnetism in 3D honeycomb materials

Eric Kin-Ho Lee, Jeffrey G. Rau, Yong Baek Kim

Two recent theoretical works studied the role of Kitaev interactions in the newly observed incommensurate magnetic order in the hyper-honeycomb (-LiIrO) and stripy-honey…

Generic spin model for the honeycomb iridates beyond the Kitaev limit

Jeffrey G. Rau, Eric Kin-Ho Lee, Hae-Young Kee

Recently, realizations of Kitaev physics have been sought in the A2IrO3 family of honeycomb iridates, originating from oxygen-mediated exchange through edge-shared octahedra. Howev…

Magnetic excitation spectra in pyrochlore iridates

Eric Kin-Ho Lee, Subhro Bhattacharjee, Yong Baek Kim

Metal-insulator transitions in pyrochlore iridates (A2Ir2O7) are believed to occur due to subtle interplay of spin-orbit coupling, geometric frustration, and electron interactions.…
