摘要
In this work, we perform a combination of classical and spin wave analysis on the one-dimensional spin-S Kitaev-Heisenberg-Gamma model in the region of an antiferromagnetic Kitaev coupling. Four phases are found, including a Neel ordered phase, a phase with O-h -> D-3 symmetry breaking, and "D-3-breaking I, II" phases which both break D-3 symmetries albeit in different ways, where O-h is the full octahedral group and D-3 is the dihedral group of order six. The lowest-lying spin wave mass is calculated perturbatively in the vicinity of the hidden SU(2) symmetric ferromagnetic point.
