Figure 1: Hamiltonian and network model perspective.
From: Chiral spin liquid and emergent anyons in a Kagome lattice Mott insulator
(a) Kagome lattice considered in this manuscript, where grey shading indicates the elementary triangles. Arrows on the bonds indicate the direction induced by the magnetic flux Φ enclosed in each triangle. (b) Visualization of the network-model perspective on the chiral spin liquid phase arising from Hamiltonian (2). Consistent with a chiral topological phase, a collective edge state encircles the whole systems. In this particular model, additional closed edges encircle each hexagon.
