Magnetic order and spin excitations in the Kitaev–Heisenberg model on a honeycomb lattice

Journal Article Vladimirov, A. A. ; Ihle, D. ; Plakida, N. M., E-mail: plakida@theor.jinr.ru - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

We consider the quasi-two-dimensional pseudo-spin-1/2 Kitaev–Heisenberg model proposed for A{sub 2}IrO{sub 3} (A = Li, Na) compounds. The spin-wave excitation spectrum, the sublattice magnetization, and the transition temperatures are calculated in the random phase approximation for four different ordered phases observed in the parameter space of the model: antiferromagnetic, stripe, ferromagnetic, and zigzag phases. The Néel temperature and temperature dependence of the sublattice magnetization are compared with the experimental data on Na{sub 2}IrO{sub 3}.

Spin-1 Kitaev-Heisenberg model on a honeycomb lattice

Journal Article Dong, Xiao-Yu ; Sheng, D. N. - Physical Review B

We study the Kitaev-Heisenberg model with spin-1 local degree of freedom on a honeycomb lattice numerically by the infinite density matrix renormalization group method on a cylinder geometry. By tuning the relative value of the Kitaev and Heisenberg exchange couplings, we obtain the phase diagram with two spin liquid phases and four symmetry-broken phases. Here, we identify that the spin liquid phases are gapless by calculating the central charge at the pure Kitaev points without the Heisenberg interactions. Comparing to its spin-1/2 counterpart, the position and number of gapless modes of the spin-1 case are quite different. Due to themore »« less

Magnon damping in the zigzag phase of the Kitaev-Heisenberg- $Γ$ model on a honeycomb lattice

Journal Article Smit, R. L. ; Keupert, S. ; Tsyplyatyev, O. ; ... - Physical Review B

We calculate dispersions and damping of the magnetic excitations in the model that is relevant to a description of the magnetic properties of iridium oxides α-Li₂IrO₃ and Na₂IrO₃, and Ru-based materials such as α-RuCl₃. Focusing on the parameter regime with the zigzag spin pattern in the ground state that is consistent with experiments, we are able to obtain explicit analytical expressions for magnon energies and eigenstates and go beyond the standard linear spin-wave theory approximation by calculating magnon damping and demonstrating its role in the dynamical structure factor. Here, we show that the magnon damping effects in both Born andmore »« less

Relevance of the Heisenberg-Kitaev Model for the Honeycomb Lattice Iridates A2IrO3

Journal Article Singh, Y ; Berlijn, T ; Singh, Y ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Combining thermodynamic measurements with theoretical calculations we demonstrate that the iridates A{sub 2}IrO{sub 3} (A = Na, Li) are magnetically ordered Mott insulators where the magnetism of the effective spin-orbital S = 1/2 moments can be captured by a Heisenberg-Kitaev (HK) model with interactions beyond nearest-neighbor exchange. Experimentally, we observe an increase of the Curie-Weiss temperature from {Theta} {approx} -125 K for Na{sub 2}IrO{sub 3} to {Theta} {approx} -33 K for Li{sub 2}IrO{sub 3}, while the ordering temperature remains roughly the same T{sub N} {approx} 15 K. Using functional renormalization group calculations we show that this evolution of {Theta} andmore »« less
