A Majorana fermion is a fermionic particle that is its own antiparticle. Since the theoretical
discovery by Ettore Majorana in 1937, the exotic particle has long been searched in particle …

Magnetic insulators in the regime of strong spin–orbit coupling exhibit intriguing behaviors in
external magnetic fields, reflecting the frustrated nature of their effective interactions. We …

Cobaltates with 3 d based layered honeycomb structure were recently proposed as Kitaev
magnets and putative candidates to host the long-sought Kitaev spin liquid. Here we present …

Na 2 Co 2 TeO 6 has recently been proposed to be a Kitaev-like honeycomb magnet. To
assess how close it is to realizing Kitaev quantum spin liquids, we have measured …

Kitaev magnets are materials with bond-dependent Ising interactions between localized
spins on a honeycomb lattice. Such interactions could lead to a quantum spin-liquid (QSL) …

A Kitaev quantum spin liquid is a prime example of novel quantum magnetism of spin-orbit
entangled pseudospin-1/2 moments in a honeycomb lattice. Most candidate materials such …

In spin-orbit-coupled magnetic materials, the usually applied Curie-Weiss law can break
down. This is due to potentially sharp temperature dependence of the local magnetic …

In RuCl3, inelastic neutron scattering and Raman spectroscopy reveal a continuum of non-
spin-wave excitations that persists to high temperature, suggesting the presence of a spin …

We provide analytical and numerical insights into the phase diagram and other properties of
the extended Kitaev-Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice in the easy-plane limit, in …

The layered honeycomb iridate α-Li 2 IrO 3 displays an incommensurate magnetic structure
with counter-rotating moments on nearest-neighbor sites, proposed to be stabilized by …
