Response and phase transition of a Kitaev spin liquid in a local magnetic field

Response and phase transition of a Kitaev spin liquid in a local magnetic field

We study the response of the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) to a local magnetic field perpendicular to the Kitaev honeycomb lattice. The local magnetic field induces a dynamical excitation of a flux pair in the spin liquid and the system can be described by a generally particle-hole asymmetric interacting resonant …
