Diffraction paten of a Heisenberg-Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid candidate Li2RhO3

Abstract: We propose to continuous our investigation of the magnetic diffraction pattern of the potential Kitaev spin liquid compound Li2RhO3. Moderate spin orbit coupling in the Rh4+ ion is expected to results in a ground state doublet which in combination with the honeycomb structure of RhO6 edge-sharing octahedral, gives rise to highly directional Kitaev interactions. Our previous powder measurements of Li2RhO3 performed on WISH revealed the magnetic Bragg peak at |Q|=0.97 Å-1 suggesting that Li2RhO3 develops either zig-zag or stripy magnetic order with the ordering wave vector k = [0,1,1/2]. The goal of this experiment is to extract an accurate value of TN and the critical exponent by measuring the intensity of the magnetic Bragg peak at different finite temperatures.
