The nature of spin excitations in the one-third magnetization plateau phase of Ba3CoSb2O9
Frustrated magnetic materials attract significant interest because their properties can become dominated by quantum fluctuations. Here the authors show that excitations in the plateau phase of a quantum magnet can be understood semiclassically even though the ground state involves strong quantum eff...
