Multiple spin-orbit excitons and the electronic structure of α-RuCl_{3}

Multiple spin-orbit excitons and the electronic structure of α-RuCl_{3}

The honeycomb compound α-RuCl_{3} is widely discussed as a proximate Kitaev spin-liquid material. This scenario builds on spin-orbit entangled j = 1/2 moments arising for a t_{2g}^{5} electron configuration with strong spin-orbit coupling λ and a large cubic crystal field. The actual low-energy elec...
