We review the recent advances and current challenges in the field of strong spin-orbit
coupled Kitaev materials, with a particular emphasis on the physics beyond the exactly …

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 …

Fifteen years since its inception, the Kitaev model still boasts only a narrow group of material
realizations. The progress in studying and understanding one of them, lithium iridate Li 2 IrO …

The layered honeycomb lattice iridate Cu 2 IrO 3 is the closest realization of the Kitaev
quantum spin liquid, primarily due to the enhanced interlayer separation and nearly ideal …

The strong correlations between electrons in Mott insulator materials may produce highly
entangled many-body states with unconventional emergent excitations. The signatures of …

Cu 2 IrO 3 is among the newest layered honeycomb iridates and a promising candidate to
harbor a Kitaev quantum spin liquid state. Here, we investigate the pressure and …

We theoretically study Andreev reflection (AR)-induced conductance at antiferromagnet/
antiferromagnet/superconductor (AF/AF/S) junctions. The AF can become spin-polarized …

Nearly two decades ago, Alexei Kitaev proposed a model for spin-1/2 particles with bond-
directional interactions on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice which had the potential to …

Candidate materials for the Kitaev spin liquid generically have residual interactions beyond
the Kitaev coupling. It therefore becomes necessary to understand how signatures of the …

To establish a solid-state-based framework for the coexistence of quantum many-body scars
and quantum criticality, we investigate the spin-1 Kitaev chain with uniaxial single-ion …
