Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Li-Mei Chen, Tyler D. Ellison, Meng Cheng, Peng Ye, Ji-Yao Chen | Summary: We study a $mathbb{Z}_3$ Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest neighbor interactions. Based on matrix product state simulations and symmetry considerations, we find evidence that, with ferromagnetic isotropic couplings, the model realizes […]
