Kinetic ferromagnetism and topological magnons of the hole-doped Kitaev spin liquid

Abstract We study the effect of hole doping on the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) and find that for ferromagnetic (FM) Kitaev exchange K the system is very susceptible to the formation of a FM spin polarization. Through density matrix renormalization group simulations on finite systems, we uncover that th...
