Correlated states in β-Li2IrO3 driven by applied magnetic fields

Materials with a Kitaev spin liquid ground state are sought after as models of quantum phases but candidates so far form either zig-zag or incommensurate magnetic order. Ruiz et al. find a crossover between these states in β-Li2IrO3 under weak magnetic fields, indicating strongly frustrated spin int...

Sumario:Materials with a Kitaev spin liquid ground state are sought after as models of quantum phases but candidates so far form either zig-zag or incommensurate magnetic order. Ruiz et al. find a crossover between these states in β-Li2IrO3 under weak magnetic fields, indicating strongly frustrated spin interactions.
