Challenges in design of Kitaev materials: Magnetic interactions from competing energy scales
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Machine scores (provisional)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract
Much interest has emerged in the realization of materials with quantum spin liquid ground states, which would provide fertile ground for realizing exotic excitations. Three ``Kitaev'' spin liquid candidate materials have been proposed -- Na${}_{2}$IrO${}_{3}$, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-RuCl${}_{3}$, and $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-Li${}_{2}$IrO${}_{3}$ -- and there has been many diverging proposals for the most relevant interactions. Here, the authors re-evaluate carefully the magnetic interactions in these materials, using nonperturbative exact diagonalization methods. The results clarify misconceptions in the literature and help estimate the potential for realizing the spin liquid state in real materials.
