Electronic Transport in Thin Crystals of Ruthenium Chloride

POSTER

Abstract

Ruthenium chloride (RuCl3) has gathered significant interest in the recent years, as it is a layered
material that presents key features such as a honeycomb geometry and bond-directional interactions,
making it a promising candidate for the experimental realizations of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model.
Exciting ground states have been predicted for this system, such as quantum spin liquids, consistent
with recent inelastic neutron scattering experiments as well as long ranged magnetic ordered states.
Here we present preliminary electronic transport experiments on exfoliated thin crystals of RuCl3 and
the effects of ionic liquid gating.
