Spin-orbit coupling is a relativistic effect, that very roughly -corresponds to the fact that in the frame of reference of a moving -electron, the electric field of nearby nuclei look like magnetic fields -to which the electron spin couples. This effectively couples the spatial -and spin parts of the electron wavefunction, meaning that the lattice -structure can influence the form of the spin-spin interactions leading -to spatial anisotropy. This anisotropy will be how we frustrate the Mott -insulators  [48,49]. As we saw with the Hubbard model, -interaction effects are only strong or weak in comparison to the -bandwidth or hopping integral \(t\) so -what we need to see strong frustration is a material with strong -spin-orbit coupling \(\lambda\) -relative to its bandwidth \(t\).

-

In certain transition metal based compounds, such as those based on -Iridium and Ruthenium, the lattice structure, strong spin-orbit coupling -and narrow bandwidths lead to effective spin-\(\tfrac{1}{2}\) Mott insulating states with -strongly anisotropic spin-spin couplings. These transition metal -compounds, known Kitaev Materials, draw their name from the celebrated -Kitaev Honeycomb Model which is expected to model their low temperature -behaviour  [44,5053].

-

At this point we can sketch out a phase diagram like that of fig. 3. When both electron-electron -interactions \(U\) and spin-orbit -couplings \(\lambda\) are small -relative to the bandwidth \(t\) we -recover standard band theory of band insulators and metals. In the upper -left we have the simple Mott insulating state as described by the -Hubbard model. In the lower right, strong spin-orbit coupling gives rise -to Topological insulators (TIs) characterised by symmetry protected edge -modes and non-zero Chern number. Kitaev materials occur in the region -where strong electron-electron interaction and spin-orbit coupling -interact. See  [54] for a much more expansive version of -this diagram.

-

The Kitaev Honeycomb model  [55] was the first concrete spin model -with a QSL ground state. It is defined on the two dimensional honeycomb -lattice and provides an exactly solvable model that can be reduced to a -free fermion problem via a mapping to Majorana fermions. This yields an -extensive number of static \(\mathbb -Z_2\) fluxes tied to an emergent gauge field. The model is -remarkable not only for its QSL ground state but also for its -fractionalised excitations with non-trivial braiding statistics. It has -a rich phase diagram hosting gapless, Abelian and non-Abelian -phases  [56] and a finite temperature phase -transition to a thermal metal state  [57]. It been proposed that its -non-Abelian excitations could be used to support robust topological -quantum computing  [5860].

-

As Kitaev points out in his original paper, the model remains -solvable on any tri-coordinated \(z=3\) -graph which can be 3-edge-coloured. Indeed many generalisations of the -model to   [6165]. -Notably, the Yao-Kivelson model  [66] -introduces triangular plaquettes to the honeycomb lattice leading to -spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. These extensions all retain -translation symmetry, likely because edge-colouring and finding the -ground state become much harder without it. Finding the ground state -flux sector and understanding the QSL properties can still be -challenging  [67,68]. Undeterred, -this gap lead us to wonder what might happen if we remove translation -symmetry from the Kitaev Model. This might would be a model of a -tri-coordinated, highly bond anisotropic but otherwise amorphous -material.

-

Amorphous materials do no have long-range lattice regularities but -covalent compounds can induce short-range regularities in the lattice -structure such as fixed coordination number \(z\). The best examples being amorphous -Silicon and Germanium with \(z=4\) -which are used to make thin-film solar cells  [69,70]. -Recently is has been shown that topological insulating (TI) phases can -exist in amorphous systems. Amorphous TIs are characterized by similar -protected edge states to their translation invariant cousins and -generalised topological bulk invariants  [7177]. However, research on amorphous -electronic systems has been mostly focused on non-interacting systems -with a few exceptions, for example, to account for the observation of -superconductivity  [7882] in amorphous materials or very -recently to understand the effect of strong electron repulsion in -TIs  [83].

-

Amorphous magnetic systems has been investigated since the -1960s, mostly through the adaptation of theoretical tools developed for -disordered systems  [8487] and with -numerical methods  [88,89]. -Research on classical Heisenberg and Ising models has been shown to -account for observed behaviour of ferromagnetism, disordered -antiferromagnetism and widely observed spin glass behaviour  [90]. -However, the role of spin-anisotropic interactions and quantum effects -in amorphous magnets has not been addressed. It is an open question -whether frustrated magnetic interactions on amorphous lattices can give -rise genuine quantum phases, i.e. to long-range entangled quantum spin -liquids (QSL)  [9194].

-

In Chapter 4 I will introduce the Amorphous Kitaev model, a -generalisation of the Kitaev honeycomb model to random lattices with -fixed coordination number three. We will show that this model is a -soluble chiral amorphous quantum spin liquid. The model retains its -exact solubility but, as with the Yao-Kivelson model  [66], -the presence of plaquettes with an odd number of sides leads to a -spontaneous breaking of time reversal symmetry. We will confirm prior -observations that the form of the ground state can be written in terms -of the number of sides of elementary plaquettes of the model  [64,95]. We unearth a rich phase diagram -displaying Abelian as well as a non-Abelian chiral spin liquid phases. -Furthermore, I show that the system undergoes a finite-temperature phase -transition to a conducting thermal metal state and discuss possible -experimental realisations.

-

The next chapter, Chapter 2, will introduce some necessary background -to the Falikov-Kimball Model, the Kitaev Honeycomb Model, disorder and -localisation. Then Chapter 3 introduces and studies the Long Range -Falikov-Kimball Model in one dimension while Chapter 4 focusses on the -Amorphous Kitaev Model.
