Description:
Fractionalized excitations in the partially magnetized spin liquid candidate YbMgGaO 4 Fractionalized excitations in the partially magnetized spin liquid candidate YbMgGaO〈sub〉4〈/sub〉, Published online: 08 October 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-06588-1 Recent experiments have indicated that YbMgGaO4 may be a quantum spin liquid with spinon Fermi surfaces but additional evidence is needed to support this interpretation. Shen et al. show weak magnetic fields cause changes in the excitation continuum that are consistent with spin liquid predictions.
