Field-tuned incommensurate fan phase in an Ising-like triangular antiferromagnet

D. Flavián, R. Okuma, P. Manuel +3

Using single-crystal neutron diffraction we report the observation of a field-tuned incommensurate phase in a field range just below magnetization saturation in the Ising-like tria…

From continuum excitations to sharp magnons via transverse magnetic field in the spin-1/2 Ising-like triangular lattice antiferromagnet Na2BaCo(PO4)2

Leonie Woodland, Ryutaro Okuma, J. Ross Stewart +2

We report high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the excitation spectrum in large single crystals of the spin-1/2 triangular lattice Ising-like antiferromagne…

Origin of the insulating state in the Kitaev candidate CuIrO

Ying Li, Roger D. Johnson, Yogesh Singh +2

Through a combination of crystal symmetry analysis and density functional theory calculations we unveil a possible microscopic origin of the unexpected insulating behavior reported…

Selective synthesis and crystal chemistry of candidate rare earth Kitaev materials: honeycomb and hyperhoneycomb NaPrO

Ryutaro Okuma, Kylie MacFarquharson, Radu Coldea

Rare earth oxides have attracted interest as a platform for studying frustrated magnetism arising from bond dependent anisotropic interactions. Ordered rock salt compounds NaPr…

Compass-model physics on the hyperhoneycomb lattice in the extreme spin-orbit regime

Ryutaro Okuma, Kylie MacFarquharson, Roger D. Johnson +3

The physics of spin-orbit entangled magnetic moments of and transition metal ions on a honeycomb lattice has been much explored in search for unconventional magnetic orde…

Anisotropy of the zigzag order in the Kitaev honeycomb magnet -RuBr

John S. Pearce, David A. S. Kaib, Zeyu Ma +5

Kitaev materials often order magnetically at low temperatures due to the presence of non-Kitaev interactions. Torque magnetometry is a very sensitive technique for probing the magn…
