| Popis: | We investigate the dynamic structure factor of the antiferromagnetic Kitaev honeycomb model in a magnetic field by applying perturbative continuous unitary transformations about the high-field limit. One- and two-quasiparticle properties of the dressed elementary spin-flip excitations of the high-field polarized phase are calculated which account for most of the spectral weight in the dynamic structure factor. We discuss the evolution of spectral features in these quasiparticle sectors in terms of one-quasiparticle dispersions, two-quasiparticle continua, the formation of antibound states, and quasiparticle decay. In particular, a comparably strong spectral feature above the upper edge of the upmost two-quasiparticle continuum represents three antibound states which form due to nearest-neighbor density-density interactions. 14 pages, 10 figures |
