At sufficiently low temperatures, magnetic materials often enter correlated phases hosting
collective, coherent magnetic excitations such as magnons or triplons. Drawing on the …

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 …

Half-integer thermal quantum Hall conductance has recently been reported for the two-
dimensional honeycomb material α-RuCl3. We found that the half-integer thermal Hall …

We argue that several empirical constraints strongly restrict parameters of the effective
microscopic spin model describing α-RuCl 3. In particular, such constraints dictate a …

Elementary excitations in entangled states such as quantum spin liquids may exhibit exotic
statistics different from those obeyed by fundamental bosons and fermions. Non-Abelian …

An external magnetic field can induce a transition in α-RuCl 3 from an ordered zigzag state
to a disordered state that is possibly related to the Kitaev quantum spin liquid. Here, we …

The appearance of half-quantized thermal Hall conductivity in α-RuCl 3 in the presence of in-
plane magnetic fields has been taken as a strong evidence for the Kitaev spin liquid. Apart …

The frustrated magnet α-RuCl3 constitutes a fascinating quantum material platform that
harbors the intriguing Kitaev physics. However, a consensus on its intricate spin interactions …

We demonstrate theoretically that the thermal Hall effect of magnons in collinear
antiferromagnetic insulators is an indicator of magnetic and topological phase transitions in …

In the recent years, the thermal Hall transport has risen as an important diagnosis of the
physical properties of the elementary excitations in various quantum materials, especially …
