Signatures of Fractionalization in Spin Liquids from Interlayer Thermal Transport
Signatures of Fractionalization in Spin Liquids from Interlayer Thermal Transport
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing phases of matter possessing fractionalized excitations. Several quasi-two dimensional materials have been proposed as candidate QSLs, but direct evidence for fractionalization in these systems is still lacking. In this paper, we show that the inter-plane thermal conductivity in layered QSLs carries a unique signature …
