Evidence for a spinon Kondo effect in cobalt atoms on single-layer 1T-TaSe

Yi Chen, Wen-Yu He, Wei Ruan +13

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are highly entangled, disordered magnetic states that arise in frustrated Mott insulators and host exotic fractional excitations such as spinons and cha…

Visualizing Exotic Orbital Texture in the Single-Layer Mott Insulator 1T-TaSe2

Yi Chen, Wei Ruan, Meng Wu +18

Mott insulating behavior is induced by strong electron correlation and can lead to exotic states of matter such as unconventional superconductivity and quantum spin liquids. Recent…
