Fermionic response from fractionalization in an insulating two-dimensional magnet
Conventionally ordered magnets possess bosonic elementary excitations, called magnons. By contrast, no magnetic insulators in more than one dimension are known whose excitations are not bosons but fermions. Theoretically, some quantum spin liquids (QSLs) - new topological phases that can occur when...
