Deskripsi
The Kitaev model is intensively studied as an exactly-solvable starting point for theoretical studies of quantum spin liquid states. Hickey and Trebst show that magnetic fields can destabilize the well-known gapped Kitaev spin liquid and induce a new gapless spin liquid, with a distinct gauge structure and neutral Fermi surface.
