Gapless spin liquid in a square-kagome lattice antiferromagnet
There exist many theoretical models of frustrated quantum magnetism, most of which lack convincing experimental realisations. Here the authors combine several experimental methods to argue that KCu6AlBiO4(SO4)5Cl behaves as a square-kagome-lattice quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet.
