چکیده
We studied the magnetic properties of YCu$_3$(OH)$_6$Br$_2$[Br$_{1-x}$(OH)$_{x}$] ($x$ = 0.33), where Cu$^{2+}$ ions form two-dimensional kagome layers. There is no order down to 50 mK while Curie-Weiss temperature on -100 K. At zero field, low-temperature specific heat shows a $T^2$ dependence. Above 2 T, linear dependence term in emerges, and value $\gamma C/T$ increases linearly with field. Furthermore, susceptibility tends constant at $T 0$. Our results suggest that ground state consistent Dirac quantum-spin-liquid dispersing spinon strongly coupled an emergent gauge which has long been theoretically proposed as candidate Heisenberg antiferromagnetic system.

Kapellasite: a kagome quantum spin liquid with competing interactions.
Magnetic susceptibility, NMR, muon spin relaxation, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements show that kapellasite, Cu3Zn(OH)6Cl2, a geometrically frustrated spin-1/2 kagome antiferromagnet polymorphic with herbertsmithite, is a gapless spin liquid showing unusual dynamic short-range correlations of noncoplanar cuboc2 type which persist down to 20 mK. The Hamiltonian is determined from a f...
متن کاملQuantum criticality of the kagome antiferromagnet with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions
The nearest neighbor spin S = 2 antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice has been the focus of extensive theoretical and experimental study because it is a prime candidate for realizing a ground state without antiferromagnetic order. On the experimental side, much attention has focused on the S = 1/2 compound herbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2. It has J ⇡ 170 K and no observed ordering or structural di...
متن کاملAlgebraic vortex liquid theory of a quantum antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice
There is growing evidence from both experiment and numerical studies that low half-odd integer quantum spins on a kagome lattice with predominant antiferromagnetic near-neighbor interactions do not order magnetically or break lattice symmetries even at temperatures much lower than the exchange interaction strength. Moreover, there appears to be a plethora of low-energy excitations, predominantl...
متن کاملSpin-liquid phase in a spin-1/2 quantum magnet on the kagome lattice.
We study a model of hard-core bosons with short-range repulsive interactions at half filling on the kagome lattice. Using quantum Monte Carlo numerics, we find that this model shows a continuous superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition, with exponents z=1 and nu approximately 0.67(5). The insulator, I*, exhibits short-ranged density and bond correlations, topological order, and exponential...
متن کاملGapless quantum spin liquid ground state in the two-dimensional spin-1/2 triangular antiferromagnet YbMgGaO4
Quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a novel state of matter which refuses the conventional spin freezing even at 0 K. Experimentally searching for the structurally perfect candidates is a big challenge in condensed matter physics. Here we report the successful synthesis of a new spin-1/2 triangular antiferromagnet YbMgGaO4 with symmetry. The compound with an ideal two-dimensional and spatial isotropic...
