Vacancy-Induced Low-Energy Density of States in the Kitaev Spin Liquid

The Kitaev honeycomb model has attracted significant attention due to its exactly solvable spin-liquid ground state with fractionalized Majorana excitations and its possible materialization in magnetic Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit couplings. Recently, the 5d-electron compound H_{3}LiIr_{2}...
