Thermodynamics of a gauge-frustrated Kitaev spin liquid
Two- and three-dimensional Kitaev magnets are prototypical frustrated quantum spin systems, in which the original spin degrees of freedom fractionalize into Majorana fermions and a Z_{2} gauge field—a purely local phenomenon that reveals itself as a thermodynamic crossover at a temperature scale set...
