Anomalous metallic behaviour in the doped spin liquid candidate κ-(ET)4Hg2.89Br8

It is expected that introducing charge carriers into an exotic quantum spin liquid state may lead to an unconventional metal but there are no clear realizations of a metallic spin liquid. Here, the authors present a spin liquid candidate that also shows evidence of strange metal behavior.
