The exactly solvable Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice has recently received
enormous attention linked to the hope of achieving novel spin-liquid states with …

The properties of transition metal compounds are largely determined by nontrivial interplay
of different degrees of freedom: charge, spin, lattice, and also orbital ones. Especially rich …

Heisenberg interactions are ubiquitous in magnetic materials and play a central role in
modelling and designing quantum magnets. Bond-directional interactions,, offer a novel …

In transition-metal compounds with partially filled 4 d and 5 d shells spin–orbit
entanglement, electronic correlations, and crystal-field effects conspire to give rise to a …

The advent of nanotechnology has hurtled the discovery and development of nanostructured
materials with stellar chemical and physical functionalities in a bid to address issues in …

Contrary to the original expectation, Na 2 IrO 3 is not a Kitaev's quantum spin liquid (QSL)
but shows a zigzag-type antiferromagnetic order in experiments. Here, we propose …

The interplay of spin–orbit coupling and Coulomb correlations has become a hot topic in
condensed matter theory and is especially important in 4d and 5d transition metal oxides …

We have grown a series of single crystals of two-dimensional van der Waals ferromagnet F e
3 GaT e 2 substituted with Co or Ni. The large single crystals of (F e 1− x C ox) 3 GaT e 2 …

Advancements in nanotechnology continue to unearth material vistas that presage a new
age of revolutionary functionalities replete with unparalleled physical properties and avant …

A burning question in the emerging field of spin-orbit driven insulating iridates, such as Na 2
IrO 3 and Li 2 IrO 3, is whether the observed insulating state should be classified as a Mott …
