We study the spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with the nearest-neighbor $J_1 > 0$, the next-nearest-neighobr $J_2 > 0$ Heisenberg interactions, and the additional scalar chiral interaction $J_{\chi}(\vec{S}_i \times…

We study the effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the large-U Hubbard model on anisotropic triangular lattice at half-filling using the Schwinger-boson method. We find that the SOC will in general lead to a zero temperature condensation…
