Unconventional magnetic field response of the hyperhoneycomb Kitaev magnet β−Li_{2}IrO_{3}

We present a unified description of the response of the hyperhoneycomb Kitaev magnet β−Li_{2}IrO_{3} to applied magnetic fields along the orthorhombic directions a, b, and c. This description is based on the minimal nearest-neighbor J−K−Γ model and builds on the idea that the incommensurate counter-...
