Abstract

We investigate the magnetic field effect on the Kitaev model with the Γ-type interaction, which plays an essential role in understanding the magnetic properties of real materials. We examine the mean-field phase diagram and thermal Hall conductivity using the linear spin-wave theory. We find that the Γ interaction substantially changes the field-angle dependence of the thermal Hall conductivity and suppresses its magnitude. The suppression is caused by the enhancement of the low-energy magnon gap while increasing the Γ interaction.
