Ciarán Hickey, Christoph Berke, P. Peter Stavropoulos, Hae‐Young Kee, Simon Trebst
Abstract
The authors study the spin-1 generalization of the Kitaev honeycomb model in the presence of an external magnetic field. In the case of antiferromagnetic interactions, they find numerical evidence for the appearance of a gapless U(1) quantum spin liquid at intermediate field strengths
