Raman signature of the U(1) Dirac spin-liquid state in the spin-1/2 kagome system

We followed the Shastry-Shraiman formulation of Raman scattering in Hubbard systems and considered the Raman intensity profile in the spin-1/2 "perfect" kagome lattice herbertsmithite ZnCu[subscript 3](OH)[subscript 6]Cl[subscript 2], assuming the ground state is well-described by the U(1)...
