Incommensurate counterrotating magnetic order stabilized by Kitaev interactions in the layered honeycomb [alpha]-Li[subscript 2] IrO[Subscript 3]

Incommensurate counterrotating magnetic order stabilized by Kitaev interactions in the layered honeycomb [alpha]-Li[subscript 2] IrO[Subscript 3]

The layered honeycomb magnet α-Li_{2}IrO_{3} has been theoretically proposed as a candidate to display unconventional magnetic behaviour associated with Kitaev interactions between spin-orbit entangled j_{eff}=1/2 magnetic moments on a honeycomb lattice. Here we report single crystal magnetic resona...
