説明

<jats:title>Sighting of magnetic Majorana fermions?</jats:title> <jats:p> Quantum spin liquids—materials whose magnetic spins do not settle into order even at absolute zero temperature—have long captured the interest of physicists. A particularly lofty goal is finding a material that can be described by the so-called Kitaev spin model, a network of spins on a honeycomb lattice that harbors Majorana fermions as its excitations. Banerjee <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> present a comprehensive inelastic neutron scattering study of single crystals of the material α-RuCl <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> , which has been predicted to a host a Kitaev spin liquid. The unusual dependence of the data on energy, momentum, and temperature is consistent with the Kitaev model. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6342" page="1055" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="356" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aah6015">1055</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
