Precursor of pair-density wave in doping Kitaev spin liquid on the honeycomb lattice

Abstract We study the effects of doping the Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice where the spins interact via the bond-directional interaction J K, which is known to have a quantum spin liquid as its exact ground state. The effect of hole doping is studied within the t-J K model on a three-leg cyli...
