The Kitaev model is an exactly solvable S= 1/2 spin model on a 2D honeycomb lattice, in
which the spins fractionalize into Majorana fermions and form a topological quantum spin …

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is a powerful technique that combines
spectroscopy and inelastic scattering to probe the electronic structure of materials. RIXS is …

The discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates brings us tantalizingly close to
a material class that mirrors the cuprate superconductors. We measured the magnetic …

Recently, the effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in correlated materials have become one
of the most actively studied subjects in condensed matter physics, as correlations and SOC …

Quantum technology has made tremendous strides over the past two decades with
remarkable advances in materials engineering, circuit design, and dynamic operation. In …

Complex oxides with 4 d and 5 d transition-metal ions recently emerged as a new paradigm
in correlated electron physics, due to the interplay between spin–orbit coupling and electron …

We discuss phenomena arising from the combined influence of electron correlation and spin-
orbit coupling (SOC), with an emphasis on emergent quantum phases and transitions in …

The current efforts to find the materials hosting Kitaev model physics have been focused on
Mott insulators of d 5 pseudospin-1/2 ions Ir 4+ and Ru 3+ with t 2 g 5 (S= 1/2, L= 1) …

We explore the phase diagram of spin-orbit Mott insulators on a honeycomb lattice, within
the Kitaev-Heisenberg model extended to its full parameter space. Zigzag-type magnetic …

An overview of both experimental and theoretical results in the field of resonant scattering of
tunable soft and hard x-ray radiation is presented, with a main focus on the closely related …
