Hyperhoneycomb Iridate $β - {Li}_{2} {IrO}_{3}$ as a Platform for Kitaev Magnetism

Journal Article Takayama, T. ; Kato, A. ; Dinnebier, R. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

A complex iridium oxide β-Li₂IrO₃ crystallizes in a hyperhoneycomb structure, a three-dimensional analogue of honeycomb lattice, and is found to be a spin-orbital Mott insulator with J_eff = 1/2 moment. Ir ions are connected to the three neighboring Ir ions via Ir-O₂-Ir bonding planes, which very likely gives rise to bond-dependent ferromagnetic interactions between the J_eff = 1/2 moments, an essential ingredient of Kitaev model with a spin liquid ground state. Dominant ferromagnetic interaction between J(eff) = 1/2 moments is indeed confirmed by the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility chi(T) which shows a positive Curie-Weiss temperaturemore »« less

Resonant x-ray scattering reveals possible disappearance of magnetic order under hydrostatic pressure in the Kitaev candidate $γ - {Li}_{2} {IrO}_{3}$

Journal Article Breznay, Nicholas P. ; Ruiz, Alejandro ; Frano, Alex ; ... - Physical Review B

Honeycomb iridates such as γ-Li₂IrO₃ are argued to realize Kitaev spin-anisotropic magnetic exchange, along with Heisenberg and possibly other couplings. While systems with pure Kitaev interactions are candidates to realize a quantum spin-liquid ground state, in γ-Li₂IrO₃ it has been shown that the presence of competing magnetic interactions leads to an incommensurate spiral spin order at ambient pressure below 38 K. We study the pressure sensitivity of this magnetically ordered state in single crystals of γ-Li₂IrO₃ using resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) under applied hydrostatic pressures of up to 3 GPa. RXS is a direct probe of electronic order, and wemore »« less

Reentrant incommensurate order and anomalous magnetic torque in the Kitaev magnet $β − {Li}_{2} {Ir O}_{3}$

Journal Article Li, Mengqun ; Rousochatzakis, Ioannis ; Perkins, Natalia B. - Physical Review Research

We present a theoretical study of the response of β-Li2IrO3 under external magnetic fields in the ab, bc, and ac crystallographic planes. The results are based on the minimal nearest-neighbor J-K-Γ model and reveal a rich intertwining of field-induced phases and magnetic phase transitions with distinctive signatures that can be probed directly via torque magnetometry. Most saliently, we observe (i) an unusual reentrance of the incommensurate counterrotating order for fields in the ab plane and (ii) a set of abrupt torque discontinuities which are particularly large for fields rotating in the bc plane and whose characteristic shape resembles closely themore »« less
