Description:
Article Fractional excitations in quantum spin systems lead to exotic particles predicted in theory but difficult to observe in experiments. Here, Glamazda et al . report the dynamical Raman response of β - and γ -Li 2 IrO 3 is dominated by thermal damping of fermionic excitations, suggesting the emergence of Majorana fermions from spin fractionalization.
