Ligand field luminescence in the honeycomb Mott insulator α-RuCl3
Novel electronic structure is central to Kitaev-like quantum spin liquid ground state in the van der Waals antiferromagnet α -RuCl _3 . In this octahedral low-spin $4d^5$ system, the rich bandstructure includes Mott–Hubbard insulating bandgap of ∼1.1 eV and ligand field induced gap of ∼2 eV. Though...
