Tuning into the Kitaev spin liquid phase: A spin model on the honeycomb lattice with two types of Heisenberg exchange couplings

We study a spin model on honeycomb lattice with two types of Heisenberg exchange couplings, $J$ and $\tilde J$, where $J$ is for the conventional spin and and $\tilde J$ for rotated spin. When $\tilde J=0$, this is the conventional Heisenberg model. When J=0, the system is either in a …
