1T-TaS 2 as a quantum spin liquid
Open accessAbstract
Significance: In solids with an odd number of electrons per unit cell, band theory requires that they are metals, but strong interaction can turn them into insulators, called Mott insulators. In this case, the electrons form local moments that, in turn, form an antiferromagnetic ground state. In 1973, P. W. Anderson proposed that, in certain cases, quantum fluctuations may prevent magnetic order and result in a paramagnetic ground state called a quantum spin liquid. After many years of searching, a few examples have been discovered in the past several years. We point out that a well-studied material, TaS 2 , may be a spin liquid candidate. We propose further experiments that probe the exotic properties of this new state of matter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
