The material α-RuCl 3 has been the subject of intense scrutiny as a potential Kitaev
quantum spin liquid, predicted to display Majorana fermions as low-energy excitations. In …

The origin of phonon thermal Hall Effect (THE) observed in a variety of insulators is yet to be
identified. Here, we report on the observation of a thermal Hall conductivity in a non …

A thermal Hall effect occurs in an increasing number of insulators and is often attributed to
phonons, but the underlying mechanism is not known in most cases. Two main scenarios …

Phonons are known to generate a thermal Hall effect in certain insulators, including oxides
with rare-earth impurities, quantum paraelectrics, multiferroic materials, and cuprate Mott …

Thermal chirality, generically referring to the handedness of heat flux, provides a significant
possibility for modern heat control. It may be realized with the thermal Hall effect yet at the …

Kitaev physics has recently attracted attention in condensed matter for its anticipated
quantum spin liquid (QSL) state. The thermal transport measurement is crucial for probing …

Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of
the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom …

Magnons are fundamental excitations of spin waves in magnetic materials, which are able to
carry both heat and spin information. Examining magnon thermal transport is essential for …

The interplay between lattice geometry, band topology and electronic correlations in the
newly discovered kagome compounds A V3Sb5 (A= K, Rb, Cs) makes this family a novel …

It has become common knowledge that phonons can generate thermal Hall effect in a wide
variety of materials, although the underlying mechanism is still controversial. We study …
