Z 2 flux binding to higher-spin impurities in the Kitaev spin liquid

Abstract Stabilizing Z 2 fluxes in Kitaev spin liquids (KSLs) is crucial for both characterizing candidate materials and identifying Ising anyons. In this study, we investigate the effects of spin-S magnetic impurities embedded in the spin-1/2 KSL. Utilizing exact diagonalization and density matrix...
