EurekAlert  May 13, 2021 In spin liquid materials, the spins are constantly changing in a tightly coordinated, entangled choreography resulting in one of the most entangled quantum states. A team of researchers in the US (Princeton University, University of Tennessee, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Purdue University) proposed that in the quantum regime an electron may be regarded as composed of two particles, one bearing the electron’s negative charge and the other containing its spin they called it spinon. They searched for signs of the spinon in a spin liquid composed of ruthenium and chlorine atoms. The measurements demanded an extraordinarily […]
