Topological spin liquid phase in a low-dimensional organic molecular compound

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-01-07 v3

Abstract

We report the discovery of a correlated insulator with a bulk gap at two-thirds filling in a geometrically frustrated Hubbard model that describes the low-energy physics of Mo3_3S7_7(dmit)3_3. This is very different from the Mott insulator expected at half-filling. We show that the insulating phase, which persists even for very weak electron-electron interactions (UU), is adiabatically connected to the Haldane phase and is consistent with experiments on Mo3_3S7_7(dmit)3_3
