A kagome lattice naturally features Dirac fermions, flat bands and van Hove singularities in
its electronic structure. The Dirac fermions encode topology, flat bands favour correlated …

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 honeycomb magnet α-RuCl3 has attracted considerable interest because it is proximate
to the Kitaev Hamiltonian whose excitations are Majoranas and vortices. The thermal Hall …

A key feature of quantum spin liquids is the predicted formation of fractionalized excitations.
They are expected to produce changes in the physical response, providing a way to observe …

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are topologically ordered states of matter that host
fractionalized excitations. A particular route towards a QSL is via strongly bond-dependent …

Frustration in magnetic materials arising from competing exchange interactions can prevent
the system from adopting long-range magnetic order and can instead lead to a diverse …

The quest for Kitaev quantum spin liquids has led to great interest in honeycomb quantum
magnets with strong spin-orbit coupling. It has been recently proposed that even Mott …

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 …

The magnetism of Kitaev materials has been widely studied, but their charge properties and
the coupling to other degrees of freedom are less known. Here we investigate the charge …

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 …
