Quantum magnetism in minerals

DS Inosov - Advances in Physics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

Spin thermal Hall conductivity of a kagome antiferromagnet

H Doki, M Akazawa, HY Lee, JH Han, K Sugii… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
A clear thermal Hall signal (κ xy) was observed in the spin-liquid phase of the S= 1/2
kagome antiferromagnet Ca kapellasite [CaCu 3 (OH) 6 Cl 2· 0.6 H 2 O]. We found that κ xy …
