Gapless quantum spin liquid in the S = 1/2 anisotropic kagome antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)6SO4

Gapless quantum spin liquid in the S = 1/2 anisotropic kagome antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)6SO4

We have successfully synthesized the new S = 1/2 anisotropic kagome antiferromagnet ZnCu _3 (OH) _6 SO _4 and determined its structure by synchrotron x-ray diffraction. No magnetic ordering is observed down to 50 mK, despite a moderately high Weiss temperature of Θ _w  ∼ −79 K, indicating that the c...
