Abstract

A gapped spin liquid Quantum spin liquids avoid conventional magnetic ordering down to the lowest temperatures. Among the candidates for this state of matter, organic salts such as κ-(BEDT-TTF) 2 Cu 2 (CN) 3 have been prominent. Miksch et al. studied this material using electron spin resonance to elucidate the nature of its ground state. Instead of the expected gapless state, the temperature dependence of spin susceptibility suggests the formation of a spin gap. Science , this issue p. 276
