Muon Spin Relaxation Evidence for the U(1) Quantum Spin-Liquid Ground State in the Triangular Antiferromagnet YbMgGaO 4

Abstract: Muon spin relaxation ($\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR}$) experiments on single crystals of the structurally perfect triangular antiferromagnet ${\mathrm{YbMgGaO}}_{4}$ indicate the absence of both static long-range magnetic order and spin freezing down to 0.048 K in a zero field. Below 0.4 K, the ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}$ spin relaxation rates, which are proportional to the dynamic correlation function of the ${\mathrm{Yb}}^{3+}$ spins, exhibit temperature-independent plateaus. All these $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR}$ results unequivocally support the formation of a gapless U(1) quantum spin liquid ground state in the triangular antiferromagnet ${\mathrm{YbMgGaO}}_{4}$.
