    Insights into the Spin–Orbital Entanglement in Complex Iridium Oxides from High-Field ESR Spectroscopy
    (Wien [u.a.] : Springer, 2021) Kataev, Vladislav
    Complex iridium oxides have attracted recently a substantial interdisciplinary attention due to an intimate entanglement of spin and orbital degrees of freedom which may give rise to a novel spin–orbital Mott insulating behavior and exotic quantum spin liquid phases. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is known to be an instructive tool for studying the spin–orbital coupling (SOC) effects as it can directly access the relevant parameters sensitive to SOC, such as the g factor tensor, magnetic anisotropy gaps and spin dynamics. In this article, a systematic study at the Leibniz IFW Dresden of the static and dynamic properties of selected Ir-based materials with multi-frequency high-field ESR spectroscopy will be reviewed. Specifically, evidence for a surprisingly isotropic antiferromagnetic spin dynamics and the inversion of the orbital states in the prototypical spin–orbital Mott insulator Sr 2IrO 4, observation of the collective resonance modes in the family of double perovskites La 2BIrO 6 (B = Cu, Co) and the origin of the unexpected magnetism in the double perovskite Ba 2YIrO 6 will be highlighted. © 2021, The Author(s).

    Phononic-magnetic dichotomy of the thermal Hall effect in the Kitaev material Na2 Co2 TeO6
    (College Park, MD : APS, 2023) Gillig, Matthias; Hong, Xiaochen; Wellm, Christoph; Kataev, Vladislav; Yao, Weiliang; Li, Yuan; Büchner, Bernd; Hess, Christian
    The quest for a half-quantized thermal Hall effect of a Kitaev system represents an important tool to probe topological edge currents of emergent Majorana fermions. Pertinent experimental findings for α-RuCl3 are, however, strongly debated, and it has been argued that the thermal Hall signal stems from phonons or magnons rather than from Majorana fermions. Here, we investigate the thermal Hall effect of the Kitaev candidate material Na2Co2TeO6, and we show that the measured signal emerges from at least two components, phonons and magnetic excitations. This dichotomy results from our discovery that the longitudinal and transversal heat conductivities share clear phononic signatures, while the transversal signal changes sign upon entering the low-temperature, magnetically ordered phase. Our results demonstrate that uncovering a genuinely quantized magnetic thermal Hall effect in Kitaev topological quantum spin liquids such as α-RuCl3 and Na2Co2TeO6 requires disentangling phonon vs magnetic contributions, including potentially fractionalized excitations such as the expected Majorana fermions.

    Long-range magnetic order in the ~S=1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet KCeS2
    (Amsterdam : SciPost Foundation, 2020) Bastien, Gaël; Rubrecht, Bastian; Haeussler, Ellen; Schlender, Philipp; Zangeneh, Ziba; Avdoshenko, Stanislav; Sarkar, Rajib; Alfonsov, Alexey; Luther, Sven; Onykiienko, Yevhen A.; Walker, Helen C.; Kühne, Hannes; Grinenko, Vadim; Guguchia, Zurab; Kataev, Vladislav; Klauss, Hans-Henning; Hozoi, Liviu; van den Brink, Jeroen; Inosov, Dmytro S.; Büchner, Bernd; Wolter, Anja U.B.; Doert, Thomas
    Recently, several putative quantum spin liquid (QSL) states were discovered in ~S=1/2 rare-earth based triangular-lattice antiferromagnets (TLAF) with the delafossite structure. A way to clarify the origin of the QSL state in these systems is to identify ways to tune them from the putative QSL state towards long-range magnetic order. Here, we introduce the Ce-based TLAF KCeS2 and show via low-temperature specific heat and μSR investigations that it yields magnetic order below TN=0.38 K despite the same delafossite structure. We identify a well separated ~S=1/2 ground state for KCeS2 from inelastic neutron scattering and embedded-cluster quantum chemical calculations. Magnetization and electron spin resonance measurements on single crystals indicate a strong easy-plane g~factor anisotropy, in agreement with the ab initio calculations. Finally, our specific-heat studies reveal an in-plane anisotropy of the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram which may indicate anisotropic magnetic interactions in KCeS2.
