Honeycomb lattice meets elusive standards of the Kitaev model. Researchers from Boston College and Harvard have created an elusive honeycomb-structured material capable of frustrating the magnetic properties within it in order to produce a chemical entity known as “spin liquid,” long theorized as a gateway to the free-flowing properties of quantum computing, according to a new report in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The first-of-its-kind copper iridate metal oxide – Cu2IrO3 – is one where the natural magnetic order is disrupted, a state known as geometric fru...
