Seminarium Fizyki Materii Skondensowanej

This seminar summarises the main results of my PhD thesis. To this end, I will present two classes of the low-energy models for Mott insulators with a finite spin-orbit coupling. The following two questions will be addressed: (1) Which ground state properties of the Kitaev-like models can be measured experimentally and whether they can help with localizing Na2IrO3 and RuCl3 in the parameter space of these models? (2) How finite spin-orbit coupling can induce entanglement between the spin and orbital degrees of freedom?
