Fingerprints of Kitaev physics in the magnetic excitations of honeycomb iridates

In the quest for realizations of quantum spin liquids, the exploration of Kitaev materials (spin-orbit-entangled Mott insulators with strong bond-directional exchanges) has taken center stage. However, in these materials the local spin-orbital j=1/2 moments typically show long-range magnetic order a...
