1T-TaS2 is unique among transition metal dichalcogenides in that it is understood to be a correlation-driven insulator, where the unpaired electron in a 13-site cluster experiences enough correlation to form a Mott insulator. We argue, based on existing data, that this well-known material should be considered as a quantum spin liquid, either a fully gapped Z2 spin liquid or a Dirac spin liquid. We discuss the exotic states that emerge upon doping and propose further experimental probes.

Measurements of the magnetization temperature dependences of La0.15Sm0.85MnO3+δ in the temperature range 4.2 - 100 K revealed a threshold magnetization feature near the temperature Td 50 K, associated with the existence of a small pseudogap Δe in the electron spectrum, which is characteristic of a weak Mott dielectric. An increase in the strength H of the external magnetic field leads to suppression of the dielectric pseudogap Δe, an increase in the density of states of free charge/ spin carriers at EF, and transformation of the charge/spin density waves fragments. A quantization of the pairs spectrum of the low-energy magnetic excitations of a Z2 quantum spin liquid in the form of spinon-gauge field composite quasiparticles was found in the temperature range 4.2 - 12 K. Formation of a continuous spectrum of the quantum spin liquid excitations in the regime of “weak magnetic fields” Н = 100 Oe, 350 Oe, 1 kOe is explained within the framework of the Landau quantization models of the spectrum of composite quasiparticles with fractional values of the factor ν filling of three overlapping Landau zones.. In the regime of a “strong external magnetic field” H = 3.5 kOe, the new quantum oscillations of the temperature dependences of the magnetization of an incompressible spinon liquid were founded in the form of three narrow steps (plateaus) corresponding to the complete filling of non-overlapping Landau zones with integer values of the filling factor by spinons.

The Kitaev model with an applied magnetic field in the H∥[111] direction shows two transitions: from a nonabelian gapped quantum spin liquid (QSL) to a gapless QSL at Hc1≃0.2K and a second transition at a higher field Hc2≃0.35K to a gapped partially polarized phase, where K is the strength of the Kitaev exchange interaction. We identify the intermediate phase to be a gapless U(1) QSL and determine the spin structure function S(k) and the Fermi surface ϵFS(k) of the gapless spinons using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method for large honeycomb clusters. Further calculations of static spin-spin correlations, magnetization, spin susceptibility, and finite temperature-specific heat and entropy corroborate the gapped and gapless nature of the different field-dependent phases. In the intermediate phase, the spin-spin correlations decay as a power law with distance, indicative of a gapless phase.
