We investigate both the longitudinal thermal conductivity ($\kappa_{xx}$) and the planar thermal Hall conductivity ($\kappa_{xy}$) in the Kitaev spin liquid candidate of Co-based honeycomb antiferromagnet Na$_2$Co$_2$TeO$_6$ in a magnetic…
The Kitaev quantum spin liquid displays the fractionalization of quantum spins into Majorana fermions. The emergent Majorana edge current is predicted to manifest itself in the form of a finite thermal Hall effect, a feature commonly…
Despite extensive investigations, a topological state that hosts Majorana edge modes in the magnetic field-induced quantum disordered state of the Kitaev candidate material $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ has been hotly debated. To gain more insight into…
Proposed effective Hamiltonians from the literature for the material $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ are used to compute the magnon thermal Hall conductivity, $\kappa_{xy}$, using linear spin wave theory for the magnetically ordered state. No model…
We investigate thermal Hall conductivity $\kappa_{xy}$ of a $J$-$K$ Kitaev-Heisenberg model with a Zeeman field in the $(111)$ direction in the light of the recent debate surrounding the possible re-emergence of Ising topological order…
We investigate the thermal Hall conductivity in the Kitaev model with additional interactions under a magnetic field, employing a finite-temperature tensor network method benchmarked by a thermal pure quantum state technique. We find that…
We study the nature of the debated thermal Hall effect in the candidate Kitaev material $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. Without assuming the existence of a gapped spin liquid, we show that a realistic minimal spin model in the canted zigzag phase…
Kitaev materials are a promising platform for the realization of quantum spin liquid states. The thermal Hall effect has emerged as a potential probe of exotic excitations within such states. In the Kitaev candidate material…
Thermal Hall conductivity originating from topological magnons is observed in the Kitaev candidate $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ in broad intervals of temperature and in-plane magnetic field, raising questions on the role of the Majorana mode in heat…
We have investigated the sample dependence of the half-integer thermal Hall effect in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ under a magnetic field tilted 45 degree from the $c$ axis to the $a$ axis. We find that the sample with the largest longitudinal thermal…
Majorana fermions as emergent excitations of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid ground state constitute a promising concept in fault tolerant quantum computation. Experimentally, the recently reported topological half-quantized thermal Hall…
The material $\alpha$-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 practice, $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ undergoes a transition to a…
Heat transport mediated by Majorana edge modes in a magnetic insulator leads to a half-integer thermal quantum Hall conductance, which has recently been reported for the two-dimensional honeycomb material $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. While the…
We report on the unusual behavior of the in-plane thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) and torque ($\tau$) response in the Kitaev-Heisenberg material $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. $\kappa$ shows a striking enhancement with linear growth beyond H = 7 T,…
Kitaev physics has recently attracted attention in condensed matter for its anticipated novel quantum spin liquid state. The thermal transport measurement is crucial for probing the novel features of charge-neutral quasiparticles. In this…
We investigate the phononic in-plane longitudinal low-temperature thermal conductivity kappa_ab of the Kitaev quantum magnet alpha-RuCl3 for large in-plane magnetic fields up to 33 T. Our data reveal for fields larger than the critical…
In a ferromagnet, the spin excitations are the well-studied magnons. In frustrated quantum magnets, long-range magnetic order fails to develop despite a large exchange coupling between the spins. In contrast to the magnons in conventional…
The honeycomb Kitaev model in a magnetic field is a source of a topological quantum spin liquid with Majorana fermions and gauge flux excitations as fractional quasiparticles. We present experimental results for the thermal Hall effect of…
The appearance of half-quantized thermal Hall conductivity in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ in the presence of in-plane magnetic fields has been taken as a strong evidence for Kitaev spin liquid. Apart from the quantization, the observed sign structure…
We have investigated the longitudinal thermal conductivity of $\alpha$-RuCl$_{3}$, the magnetic state of which is considered to be proximate to a Kitaev honeycomb model, along with the spin susceptibility and magnetic specific heat. We…
