Site dilution in Kitaev's honeycomb model
A. J. Willans, J. T. Chalker, R. Moessner
We study the physical consequences of site dilution in Kitaev's honeycomb model, in both its gapped and gapless phases. We show that a vacancy binds a flux of the emergent ga…

Disorder in a quantum spin liquid: flux binding and local moment formation
A. J. Willans, J. T. Chalker, R. Moessner
We study the consequences of disorder in the Kitaev honeycomb model, considering both site dilution and exchange randomness. We show that a single vacancy binds a flux and induces…
