Antiferromagnetic Kitaev Interaction in $f$-Electron Based Honeycomb Magnets

Seong-Hoon Jang, Ryoya Sano, Yasuyuki Kato +1

We theoretically propose a family of $f$-electron based magnets that realizes Kitaev-type bond-dependent anisotropic interactions. Based on {\it ab initio} calculations, we show th…
