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…
Anisotropic magnetic interactions in a candidate Kitaev spin liquid close to a metal-insulator transition
Zeyu Ma, Danrui Ni, David A. S. Kaib +6
In the Kitaev honeycomb model, spins coupled by strongly-frustrated anisotropic interactions do not order at low temperature but instead form a quantum spin liquid with spin fracti…
