Signatures of a Majorana-Fermi surface in the Kitaev magnet Ag3LiIr2O6

Abstract Detecting Majorana fermions in experimental realizations of the Kitaev honeycomb model is often complicated by non-trivial interactions inherent to potential spin liquid candidates. In this work, we identify several distinct thermodynamic signatures of massive, itinerant Majorana fermions w...
