Magnetic anisotropy in spin-3/2 with heavy ligand in honeycomb Mott insulators: Application to CrI_{3}
Ferromagnetism in two-dimensional CrI_{3} has generated a lot of excitement, and it was recently proposed that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in iodine may generate bond-dependent spin interactions leading to magnetic anisotropy. Here, we derive a microscopic spin model of S=3/2 on transition metals...
