Finite-temperature screening of U(1) fractons

We investigate the finite-temperature screening behavior of three-dimensional U(1) spin-liquid phases with fracton excitations. Several features are shared with the conventional U(1) spin liquid. The system can exhibit spin-liquid physics over macroscopic length scales at low temperatures, but scree...
