Spin dynamics and field-induced magnetic phase transition in the honeycomb Kitaev magnet α-Li2IrO3

The layered honeycomb iridate α-Li2IrO3 displays an incommensurate magnetic structure with counterrotating moments on nearest-neighbor sites, proposed to be stabilized by strongly frustrated anisotropic Kitaev interactions between spin-orbit entangled Ir4+ magnetic moments. Here we report powder ine...
