Neutron Scattering Study Finds Spinon Signatures in Lab-Grown Herbertsmithite and Zinc Barlowite, But Debate Over Quantum Spin Liquids Continues
Young Lee and colleagues at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory concluded in 2025 that both minerals exhibit quantum spin liquid behavior after inelastic neutron scattering experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The findings build on the 1970s discovery of the mineral in…
