Structure factor of low-energy spin excitations in a S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnet

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2010-07-02 v2

Abstract

The ground state of the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferomagnet on kagome can be viewed as a collection of fermionic spinons bound into small, heavy singlet pairs. Low-energy magnetic excitations in this system correspond to breaking the pairs into individual spinons. We calculate the structure factor for inelastic neutron scattering from independent spinon pairs.
