The case for a U(1)${}_{\pi }$ Quantum Spin Liquid Ground State in the Dipole-Octupole Pyrochlore Ce${}_2$Zr${}_2$O${}_7$

E. M. Smith, O. Benton, D. R. Yahne +20

The Ce${}^{3+}$ pseudospin-$\frac{1}{2}$ degrees of freedom in the pyrochlore magnet Ce${}_2$Zr${}_2$O${}_7$ are known to possess dipole-octupole (DO) character, making it a candidate for…
