Survival of itinerant excitations and quantum spin state transitions in YbMgGaO4 with chemical disorder

Survival of itinerant excitations and quantum spin state transitions in YbMgGaO4 with chemical disorder

It remains an open question as to whether the quantum spin liquid state survives material disorder, or is replaced by some spin-liquid like state. Here, Rao et al succeed in resolving a resolving a κ 0/T residual in the thermal conductivity of YbMgGaO4 strongly suggesting the survival of the quantum...
