Hierarchy of Exchange Interactions in the Triangular-Lattice Spin Liquid YbMgGaO_{4}
The spin-1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet YbMgGaO_{4} has attracted attention recently as a quantum spin-liquid candidate with the possible presence of off-diagonal anisotropic exchange interactions induced by spin-orbit coupling. Whether a quantum spin liquid is stabilized or not depends on t...
