Spontaneous Spin Ordering of a Dirac Spin Liquid in a Magnetic Field

The Dirac spin liquid was proposed to be the ground state of the spin-1/2 kagomé antiferromagnets. In a magnetic field B, we show that the state with Fermi pocket is unstable to the Landau level (LL) state. The LL state breaks the spin rotation around the axis of the magnetic field. We find that the...
