Pyrochlore materials are characterized by their hallmark network of corner-sharing rare-earth tetrahedra, which can produce a wide array of complex magnetic ground states. Ferromagnetic Ising pyrochlores often obey the "two-in-two-out" spin…
Anisotropic multiferroic properties of SrMnGe2O6 pyroxene single crystals were systematically investigated by means of magnetization, heat capacity, pyroelectric current measurement and elastic and inelastic neutron scattering experiments.…
Due to the dominant Kitaev exchange interactions, the cobaltate, Na$_{3}$Co$_{2}$SbO$_{6}$, has been considered to be approximate to the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL). Here, we investigate both magnetic dilution and chemical pressure…
Rare-earth chalcohalide REChX (RE = rare earth; Ch = O, S, Se, Te; X = F, Cl, Br, I) is a newly reported family of Kitaev spin liquid candidates. The family offers a platform where a strong spin-orbit coupling meets a van der Waals layered…
Recent observations of quantum anomalous Hall effects in moir\'e systems have revealed the emergence of interaction-driven ferromagnetism with significant orbital contributions. To capture this physics, we extend the modern theory of…
We study the field-induced magnetization processes of extended Heisenberg-Kitaev models on the honeycomb lattice, taking into account off-diagonal and longer-range exchange interactions, using a combination of Monte-Carlo simulations,…
In this work, we investigate the microscopic nature of the magnetism in honeycomb iridium-based systems by performing a systematic study of how the effective magnetic interactions in these compounds depend on various electronic microscopic…
We investigate the phase diagram of a bilayer Kitaev honeycomb model with Ising interlayer interactions, deriving effective models via perturbation theory and performing Majorana mean-field theory calculations. We show that a diverse array…
Rare-earth delafossite compounds, ARCh$_2$ (A = alkali or monovalent ion, R = rare earth, Ch = chalcogen), have been proposed for a range of novel quantum phenomena. Particularly, the Tm series, ATmCh$_2$, featuring Tm ions on a triangular…
Despite exhibiting magnetic long-range order below $T_\mathrm{N} = 26.7\,\mathrm{K}$, the honeycomb cobaltate Na$_2$Co$_2$TeO$_6$ is predicted to enter a Kitaev spin liquid state when subjected to small external perturbations. While most of…
Materials manifesting the Kitaev model, characterized by bond-dependent interactions on a honeycomb lattice, can host exotic phenomena like quantum spin liquid states and topological magnetic excitations. However, finding such materials…
The Co2V2O7 is recently reported to exhibit amazing magnetic field-induced magnetization plateaus and ferroelectricity, but its magnetic ground state remains ambiguous due to its structural complexity. Magnetometry measurements, and…
In recent years, a lot of effort has been devoted to the quest for experimental realizations of Kitaev interactions in spin systems. Recently, many materials have been synthesized which seem to realize extended Kitaev models, where Kitaev…
There have been constant efforts to find exotic quantum spin-liquid (QSL) materials. Some of the transition metal insulators dominated by the direction dependent anisotropic exchange interaction (Kitaev model for honeycomb network of…
Motivated by the possible triple-$\bf Q$ classical order in the Kitaev candidate material Na$_2$Co$_2$TeO$_6$, we investigate microscopic models that may stabilize the triple-$\bf Q$ order by studying an extended Kitaev honeycomb model with…
We theoretically propose a family of $f$-electron based magnets that realizes Kitaev-type bond-dependent anisotropic interactions. Based on {\it ab initio} calculations, we show that $A_2$PrO$_3$ ($A$: alkali metals) crystalize in a…
Topological states of matter such as quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are of great interest because of their remarkable predicted properties including protection of quantum information and the emergence of Majorana fermions. Such QSLs, however,…
We present thermodynamic and spectroscopic measurements for an orthopyroxene CoGeO$_3$ with magnetic Co$^{2+}$ ions that form quasi-one-dimensional ladders. We show that non-collinear magnetic order below $T_N$=32 K can be stabilized by a…
Kitaev iridates have been proposed as candidates for realizing an elusive quantum spin liquid (QSL) state, in which strong spin-orbit coupling and bond-directional exchange generate a highly frustrated and entangled ground state. However,…
