Physics Seminars: Quantum Thermal Hall Effect of Chiral Spinons in a Kagome Strip
Speaker: Dr. Efrat Shimshoni Host: Dr. Gregory Fiete Abstract: I will describe a recent study of a toy model for the thermal Hall effect in a chiral spin liquid. Specifically, we focus on a spin-1/2 system on a strip of Kagome lattice modeled as a three-leg XXZ spin-ladder, where we further introduce a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (D) and a tunable magnetic field (B). Using Bosonization to derive a low-energy theory for…
