Possible intermediate quantum spin liquid phase in α-RuCl3 under high magnetic fields up to 100 T

Abstract Pursuing the exotic quantum spin liquid (QSL) state in the Kitaev material α-RuCl3 has intrigued great research interest recently. A fascinating question is on the possible existence of a field-induced QSL phase in this compound. Here we perform high-field magnetization measurements of α-Ru...
