The Kitaev model is an exactly solvable S= 1/2 spin model on a 2D honeycomb lattice, in
which the spins fractionalize into Majorana fermions and form a topological quantum spin …

Quantum spin liquids may be considered'quantum disordered'ground states of spin systems,
in which zero-point fluctuations are so strong that they prevent conventional magnetic long …

The Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL) is an exotic emergent state of matter exhibiting
Majorana fermion and gauge flux excitations. The magnetic insulator α-RuCl3 is thought to …

The exactly solvable Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice has recently received
enormous attention linked to the hope of achieving novel spin-liquid states with …

We review the recent advances and current challenges in the field of strong spin-orbit
coupled Kitaev materials, with a particular emphasis on the physics beyond the exactly …

The honeycomb lattice is one of the simplest lattice structures. Electrons and spins on this
simple lattice, however, often form exotic phases with non-trivial excitations. Massless Dirac …

The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade
