Title: Spin-liquid insulators can be Landau's Fermi liquids
(Submitted on 29 Nov 2022)
Abstract: The long search for insulating materials that possess low-energy quasiparticles carrying electron's quantum numbers except charge - inspired by the neutral spin-1/2 excitations, the so-called spinons, exhibited by Anderson's resonating-valence-bond state - seems to have reached a turning point after the discovery of several Mott insulators displaying same thermal and magnetic properties as metals, including quantum oscillations in a magnetic field. Here, we show that such anomalous behaviour is not inconsistent with Landau's Fermi liquid theory of quasiparticles at a Luttinger surface. That is the manifold of zeros within the Brillouin zone of the single-particle Green's function at zero frequency, and which thus defines the spinon Fermi surface conjectured by Anderson.
