Existence of zero-energy modes in the finite edged Kitaev honeycomb model
We describe how the Kitaev honeycomb model with a finite number of sites on a torus may be easily generalised to cylindrical and rectangular topologies using a recently developed fermionisation technique. We then look for criteria which determine if zero-energy modes exist for these cases in the absence of an external magnetic field. For the cylindrical case, we determine the combination of spi...

متن کاملGeneric spin model for the honeycomb iridates beyond the Kitaev limit.
Recently, realizations of Kitaev physics have been sought in the A2IrO3 family of honeycomb iridates, originating from oxygen-mediated exchange through edge-shared octahedra. However, for the jeff=1/2 Mott insulator in these materials, exchange from direct d-orbital overlap is relevant, and it was proposed that a Heisenberg term should be added to the Kitaev model. Here, we provide the generic ...
متن کاملKitaev honeycomb and other exotic spin models with polar molecules
We show that ultracold polar molecules pinned in an optical lattice can be used to access a variety of exotic spin models, including the Kitaev honeycomb model. Treating each molecule as a rigid rotor, we use DC electric and microwave fields to define superpositions of rotational levels as effective spin degrees of freedom, while dipole-dipole interactions give rise to interactions between the ...
متن کامل0 Se p 20 10 Magnetic impurities in the honeycomb Kitaev model
We study the effect of coupling magnetic impurities to the honeycomb lattice spin−1/2 Kitaev model in its spin liquid phase. We show that a spin-S impurity coupled to the Kitaev model is associated with an unusual Kondo effect with an intermediate coupling unstable fixed point Kc ∼ J/S separating topologically distinct sectors of the Kitaev model. We also show that the massless spinons in the s...
