| Résumé |
|
Inelastic neutron scattering is used to study the low-energy magnetic excitations in the spin-1 triangular lattice of the 6H-B phase of Ba3NiSb2O9. We study two powder samples: Ba3NiSb2O9 synthesized under high pressure and Ba2.5Sr0.5NiSb2O9 in which chemical pressure stabilizes the 6H-B structure. Themeasured excitation spectra show broad gapless and nondispersive continua at characteristic wave vectors. Our data rules out most theoretical scenarios that have previously been proposed for this phase, and we find that it is well described by an exotic quantum spin liquid with three flavors of unpaired fermionic spinons, forming a large spinon Fermi surface.
