By calculating the dynamical spin structure factor and the Raman scattering cross section, this thesis shows that there are salient signatures?qualitative and quantitative?of the Majorana fermions and the gauge fluxes emerging as effective degrees of freedom in the exactly solvable Kitaev honeycomb lattice model. The model is a representative of a class of spin liquids with Majorana fermions coupled to Z2 gauge fields. The qualitative features of the response functions should therefore be characteristic for this broad class of topological states. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSuperconductivity 606 $aSuperconductors 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aMagnetic materials 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25064 606 $aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 615 0$aSuperconductivity. 615 0$aSuperconductors. 615 0$aMagnetism. 615 0$aMagnetic materials. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 14$aStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity. 615 24$aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 676 $a530 700 $aKnolle$b Johannes$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0803804 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254640503321 996 $aDynamics of a Quantum Spin Liquid$91805308 997 $aUNINA
