Nature Physics, Published online: 13 April 2020; doi:10.1038/s41567-020-0874-0
α-RuCl3 is a promising candidate for realizing the Kitaev quantum spin liquid, but the physics governing its magnetic behaviour remain elusive. Resonant elastic X-ray scattering data now set unambiguous constraints on the leading terms in the Hamiltonian.
