Chiral Spin Liquid Phase of the Triangular Lattice Hubbard Model: A Density Matrix Renormalization Group Study
Aaron Szasz, Johannes Motruk, Michael P. Zaletel, Joel E. Moore
Abstract
A chiral spin liquid---in which heat moves in one direction around the edge of the material---arises in a simple model of a prototypical quantum spin liquid, answering long-standing questions about these exotic states of matter.
