Robustness of the flux-free sector of the Kitaev honeycomb against environment
Alexander Sattler, Maria Daghofer
The Kitaev honeycomb model (KHM) consists of spin- particles on a honeycomb lattice with direction-dependent Ising-like interactions. It can alternatively be described in term…

Robustness of topological edge states in alternating spin chains against environment
Alexander Sattler, Maria Daghofer
Both the Haldane spin- chain and dimerized chains of spin- exhibit topologically protected edge states that are robust against specific perturbations. Recently, such spin c…
