Challenges in design of Kitaev materials: Magnetic interactions from competing energy scales

Open access

Abstract

Much interest has emerged in the realization of materials with quantum spin liquid ground states, which would provide fertile ground for realizing exotic excitations. Three ``Kitaev'' spin liquid candidate materials have been proposed -- Na${}_{2}$IrO${}_{3}$, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-RuCl${}_{3}$, and $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-Li${}_{2}$IrO${}_{3}$ -- and there has been many diverging proposals for the most relevant interactions. Here, the authors re-evaluate carefully the magnetic interactions in these materials, using nonperturbative exact diagonalization methods. The results clarify misconceptions in the literature and help estimate the potential for realizing the spin liquid state in real materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
