Complex orders and chirality in the classical Kitaev-<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">Γ</mml:mi></mml:math> model

This study explores the complex interplay of interactions in the classical Kitaev-\ensuremath{\Gamma} model, revealing a rich phase diagram characterized by a diverse range of magnetic ground states. It uncovers incommensurate spiral orders and chiral phases arising from the competition between Kitaev and \ensuremath{\Gamma} interactions, emphasizing the significant role of magnetic anisotropy. These findings provide valuable insights into the formation of unconventional magnetic order in systems with bond-anisotropic interactions, contributing to the understanding of experimental findings in 4$d$ and 5$d$ transition metal compounds with strong spin-orbit coupling.
