Research reveals novel quantum state in strange insulating materials

Research reveals novel quantum state in strange insulating materials 02/16/2017 01:08 PM EST Experiments show how electrons in Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling arrange themselves to make the materials magnetic at low temperatures. The work helps bring us closer to a more complete quantum theory of magnetism.
