Lessons from -RuCl3 for pursuing quantum spin liquid physics in atomically thin materials
Claudia Ojeda-Aristizabal, Xiaohu Zheng, Changsong Xu +20
Quantum spin liquids can arise from Kitaev magnetic interactions, and exhibit fractionalized excitations with the potential for a topological form of quantum computation. This revi…

Incommensurate Charge Super-modulation and Hidden Dipole Order in Layered Kitaev Material -RuCl
Xiaohu Zheng, Zhengxin Liu, Cuiwei Zhang +5
The magnetism of Kitaev materials has been widely studied, but their charge properties and the coupling to other degrees of freedom are less known. Here we investigate the charge s…
