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 …

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 …

The exactly solvable Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice has recently received
enormous attention linked to the hope of achieving novel spin-liquid states with …

The honeycomb lattice is one of the simplest lattice structures. Electrons and spins on this
simple lattice, however, often form exotic phases with non-trivial excitations. Massless Dirac …

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are topological states of matter exhibiting remarkable
properties such as the capacity to protect quantum information from decoherence. Whereas …

Geometrical constraints to the electronic degrees of freedom within condensed-matter
systems often give rise to topological quantum states of matter such as fractional quantum …

Quantum spin liquids have fascinated condensed matter physicists for decades because of
their unusual properties such as spin fractionalization and long-range entanglement. Unlike …

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 …

The layered honeycomb magnet α-RuCl 3 has been proposed as a candidate to realize a
Kitaev spin model with strongly frustrated, bond-dependent, anisotropic interactions …

We report a Cl 35 nuclear magnetic resonance study in the honeycomb lattice α-RuCl 3, a
material that has been suggested to potentially realize a Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) …
