Stabilization of a honeycomb lattice of IrO6 octahedra by formation of ilmenite-type superlattices in MnTiO3

Atomically thin films are ideal candidate materials for realizing clean, long sought-after, Kitaev spin liquids. Here, a two-dimensional IrO6 honeycomb lattice is stabilized within a MnTiO3 ilmenite superlattice, inducing a suppression of antiferromagnetic order that suggests potential spin-liquid b...
