The quantum dimer magnet, with antiferromagnetic intradimer and interdimer Heisenberg exchange between spin-1/2 moments, is known to host an up/down - down/up singlet ground state when the intradimer exchange is dominant. Rare-earth-based…
Two-dimensional high-spin bipartite honeycomb networks, where anisotropy, competing exchange interactions, and spin fluctuations interplay, provide an alternative platform to test theoretical models that distinguish between classical and…

Most of the searches for Kitaev materials deal with $4d/5d$ magnets with spin-orbit-coupled ${J=1/2}$ local moments such as iridates and $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. Here we propose the monoclinic YbCl$_3$ with a Yb$^{3+}$ honeycomb lattice for the…
