Spiral spin liquid resilient to quantization in the frustrated honeycomb antiferromagnet GdZnPO

Xun Chen, Rui Bian, Yuqian Zhao +4

Frustrated magnets host strong quantum fluctuations that can suppress conventional magnetic order and give rise to exotic quantum phases such as spin liquids. In some cases, howeve…

Itinerant and topological excitations in a honeycomb spiral spin liquid candidate

Yuqian Zhao, Xuping Yao, Xun Chen +4

The frustrated insulating magnet can stabilize a spiral spin liquid, arising from cooperative fluctuations among a subextensively degenerate manifold of spiral configurations, with…

Giant Magnetocaloric Effect in a Honeycomb Spiral Spin-Liquid Candidate

Yuqian Zhao, Xun Chen, Zongtang Wan +2

Unlike conventional magnetic states, which lack degeneracy, the spiral spin liquid (SSL) fluctuates among degenerate spiral configurations, with ground-state wave vectors forming a…

Spiral spin liquid in a frustrated honeycomb antiferromagnet: A single-crystal study of GdZnPO

Zongtang Wan, Yuqian Zhao, Xun Chen +4

The frustrated honeycomb spin model can stabilize a subextensively degenerate spiral spin liquid with nontrivial topological excitations and defects, but its material realization r…

Proximate Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid in a spin-1/2 ferromagnetic XXZ chain compound

Boqiang Li, Xun Chen, Yuqian Zhao +3

The spin-1/2 ferromagnetic XXZ chain is a prototypical many-body quantum model, exactly solvable via the integrable Bethe ansatz method, hosting a Tomonaga-Luttinger spin liquid. H…
