Quantum spin liquid states

Y Zhou, K Kanoda, TK Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
This is an introductory review of the physics of quantum spin liquid states. Quantum
magnetism is a rapidly evolving field, and recent developments reveal that the ground states …

Spin liquids in frustrated magnets

L Balents - nature, 2010 - nature.com
Frustrated magnets are materials in which localized magnetic moments, or spins, interact
through competing exchange interactions that cannot be simultaneously satisfied, giving rise …

Evidence for quantum spin liquid behaviour in single-layer 1T-TaSe2 from scanning tunnelling microscopy

W Ruan, Y Chen, S Tang, J Hwang, HZ Tsai, RL Lee… - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Two-dimensional triangular-lattice antiferromagnets are predicted under some conditions to
exhibit a quantum spin liquid ground state with no energy barrier to create emergent …

Mott physics and band topology in materials with strong spin–orbit interaction

D Pesin, L Balents - Nature Physics, 2010 - nature.com
Recent theory and experiment have revealed that strong spin–orbit coupling can have
marked qualitative effects on the band structure of weakly interacting solids, leading to a …

Cooper pairing in non-Fermi liquids

MA Metlitski, DF Mross, S Sachdev, T Senthil - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
States of matter with a sharp Fermi surface but no well-defined Landau quasiparticles arise
in a number of physical systems. Examples include (i) quantum critical points associated …

Perturbative non-Fermi liquids from dimensional regularization

D Dalidovich, SS Lee - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2013 - APS
We devise a dimensional regularization scheme for quantum field theories with a Fermi
surface to study scaling behavior of non-Fermi liquid states in a controlled approximation …

Electronic density of states of a quantum spin liquid with spinon Fermi surface. I. Orbital magnetic field effects

WY He, PA Lee - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
A quantum spin liquid with a spinon Fermi surface is an exotic insulator that hosts neutral
Fermi surfaces inside the insulating gap. In an external magnetic field, it has been pointed …

Orthogonal metals: The simplest non-Fermi liquids

R Nandkishore, MA Metlitski, T Senthil - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2012 - APS
We present a fractionalized metallic phase which is indistinguishable from the Fermi liquid in
conductivity and thermodynamics, but is sharply distinct in one-electron properties, such as …

Competing exotic topological insulator phases in transition-metal oxides on the pyrochlore lattice with distortion
