Unquantized thermal Hall effect in quantum spin liquids with spinon Fermi surfaces

Recent theoretical studies have found quantum spin-liquid states with spinon Fermi surfaces upon the application of a magnetic field on a gapped state with topological order. We investigate the thermal Hall conductivity across this transition, describing how the quantized thermal Hall conductivity o...
