Article Abstract

Sr_{2}CuTe_{0.5}W_{0.5}O_{6} is a square-lattice magnet with superexchange between S=1/2Cu^{2+} spins mediated by randomly distributed Te and W ions. Here, using sub-K temperature and 20  μeV energy resolution neutron scattering experiments we show that this system transits from a gapless disorder-induced spin liquid to a new quantum state below T_{f}=1.7(1)  K, exhibiting a weak frozen moment of ⟨S⟩/S∼0.1 and low energy dynamic susceptibility, χ^{''}(ℏω), linear in energy which is surprising for such a weak freezing in this highly fluctuating quantum regime.

Quantum simulations of many-body systems are among the most promising applications of quantum computers. In particular, models based on strongly correlated fermions are central to our understanding of quantum chemistry and materials problems, and can lead to exotic, topological phases of matter. However, owing to the non-local nature of fermions, such models are challenging to simulate with qubit devices.

Magnetic heat capacity measurements of a high-quality single crystal of the dipole-octupole pyrochlore Ce_{2}Hf_{2}O_{7} down to a temperature of T=0.02  K are reported. These show a two-peaked structure, with a Schottky-like peak at T_{1}∼0.

The multiplicity of orbitals in quantum systems significantly influences the competition between Kondo screening and local spin magnetization. The identification of orbital-specific processes is essential for advancing spintronic devices, as well as for enhancing the understanding of many-body quantum phenomena, but it remains a great challenge. Here, we use a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to investigate single iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on MgO/Ag(100).

We report the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of the organic conductor κ-(BEST)Cu(CN) (BEST: bis(ethylenediseleno)-tetrathiafulvalene; abbreviated as κ-BEST-CN), which is isostructural with the quantum spin liquid candidate κ-(ET)Cu(CN) (ET: bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene; abbreviated as κ-ET-CN). Resistivity measurements demonstrate that κ-BEST-CN exhibits semiconducting behavior, governed by the same conducting mechanism as κ-ET-CN. Under a pressure of ∼0.

Hyperbolic lattices present a unique opportunity to venture beyond the conventional paradigm of crystalline many-body physics and explore correlated phenomena in negatively curved space. As a theoretical benchmark for such investigations, we extend Kitaev's spin-1/2 honeycomb model to hyperbolic lattices and exploit their non-Euclidean space-group symmetries to solve the model exactly. We elucidate the ground-state phase diagram on the {8,3} lattice and find a gapped Z_{2} spin liquid with Abelian anyons, a gapped chiral spin liquid with non-Abelian anyons and chiral edge states, and a Majorana metal whose finite low-energy density of states is dominated by non-Abelian Bloch states.
