Physicists confirm elusive quantum spin liquid in new study
An international team of scientists led by Rice University’s Pengcheng Dai has confirmed the existence of emergent photons and fractionalized spin excitations in a rare quantum spin liquid. Published in Nature Physics on June 19, their findings identify the crystalline compound cerium zirconium oxide (Ceâ‚‚Zrâ‚‚O₇) as a clear 3D realization of this exotic state of
