A Majorana fermion is a fermionic particle that is its own antiparticle. Since the theoretical
discovery by Ettore Majorana in 1937, the exotic particle has long been searched in particle …

In transition-metal compounds with partially filled 4 d and 5 d shells spin–orbit
entanglement, electronic correlations, and crystal-field effects conspire to give rise to a …

The quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gases involves the flow of topologically
protected dissipationless charge currents along the edges of a sample. Integer or fractional …

The material α-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 …

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 …

Spin-orbit coupled honeycomb magnets with the Kitaev interaction have received a lot of
attention due to their potential of hosting exotic quantum states including quantum spin …

Layered honeycomb magnets are of interest as potential realizations of the Kitaev quantum
spin liquid (KQSL), a quantum state with long-range spin entanglement and an exactly …

We report magnetometry data obtained on twin-free single crystals of Na 3 Co 2 SbO 6,
which is considered a candidate material for realizing the Kitaev honeycomb model for …

In α-RuCl 3, an external magnetic field applied within the honeycomb plane can induce a
transition from a magnetically ordered state to a disordered state that is potentially related to …

Magnetic insulators in the regime of strong spin–orbit coupling exhibit intriguing behaviors in
external magnetic fields, reflecting the frustrated nature of their effective interactions. We …
