A strongly fluctuating quasi-two-dimensional insulator (invited)
We describe neutron-scattering data for SrCr8−xGa4+xO19, a layered compound containing planes of S=3/2 Cr3+ ions which form Kagomé lattices. Despite strong antiferromagnetic interactions ...

Phenomenology of the normal and superconducting states of a marginal Fermi liquid (invited)
A metal with scattering from a flat frequency spectrum of particle-hole pairs is a ``marginal'' Fermi liquid, with infinite quasiparticle lifetime but a logarithmically vanishing spectral weight. In t...

Spin nematics are magnets with long-range tensor order in the absence of a sublattice magnetization; the formation of this novel spin state has been studied within the new quantum fluids perspective of magnetism. Here this recent work on spin nematics is reviewed, and experimental signatures and a candidate system are discussed. Journal of Applied Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
