Disordered Route to the Coulomb Quantum Spin Liquid: Random Transverse Fields on Spin Ice in $\Pr_{2} {Zr}_{2} O_{7}$

Journal Article Wen, J. -J. ; Koohpayeh, S. M. ; Ross, K. A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Inelastic neutron scattering reveals a broad continuum of excitations in Pr ₂ Zr ₂ O ₇ , the temperature and magnetic field dependence of which indicate a continuous distribution of quenched transverse fields ( Δ ) acting on the non-Kramers Pr ^{3 +} crystal field ground state doublets. Spin-ice correlations are apparent within 0.2 meV of the Zeeman energy. In a random phase approximation an excellent account of the data is provided and contains a transverse field distribution ρ ( Δ ) ∝ ( Δ ² + Γ ² ) ^{- 1} , where Γ = 0.27 ( 1 )more »« less

Disorder-Induced Quantum Spin Liquid in Spin Ice Pyrochlores

Journal Article Savary, Lucile ; Balents, Leon - Physical Review Letters

We propose that in a certain class of magnetic materials, known as non-Kramers “spin ice,” disorder induces quantum entanglement. Instead of driving glassy behavior, disorder provokes quantum superpositions of spins throughout the system and engenders an associated emergent gauge structure and set of fractional excitations. More precisely, disorder transforms a classical phase governed by a large entropy, classical spin ice, into a quantum spin liquid governed by entanglement. As the degree of disorder is increased, the system transitions between (i) a “regular” Coulombic spin liquid, (ii) a phase known as “Mott glass,” which contains rare gapless regions in real space,more »« less

Quantum spin liquid in the semiclassical regime

Journal Article Rousochatzakis, Ioannis ; Sizyuk, Yuriy ; Perkins, Natalia B. - Nature Communications

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) have been at the forefront of correlated electron research ever since their proposal in 1973, and the realization that they belong to the broader class of intrinsic topological orders. According to received wisdom, QSLs can arise in frustrated magnets with low spin S, where strong quantum fluctuations act to destabilize conventional, magnetically ordered states. In this work, we present a Z₂ QSL ground state that appears already in the semiclassical, large-S limit. This state has both topological and symmetry-related ground-state degeneracy, and two types of gaps, a “magnetic flux” gap that scales linearly with S andmore »« less
