Signatures of non-Loudon-Fleury Raman scattering in the Kitaev magnet β-Li2IrO3
We investigate the magnetic excitations of the hyperhoneycomb Kitaev magnetβ-Li2IrO3 by means of inelastic Raman scattering. The spectra exhibit the

The range of non-Kitaev terms and fractional particles in RuCl3
Significant efforts have focused on the magnetic excitations of relativistic Mott insulators, predicted to realize the Kitaev quantum spin liquid

Possible structural transformation and enhanced magnetic fluctuations in exfoliated α-RuCl3
We present Raman spectroscopy experiments on exfoliated α-RuCl3, from tens of nm thick down to single layers. Besides unexpectedly finding

α−RuCl3: A spin-orbit assisted Mott insulator on a honeycomb lattice
We examine the role of spin-orbit coupling in the electronic structure of α−RuCl3, in which Ru ions in 4d5 configuration form
