Abstract
Spinon excitations of a Kagome quantum spin liquid are expected to give rise to a magnetic continuum in Raman spectroscopy. Here, the authors report a magnetic Raman continuum in the Kagome spin liquid candidate Cu3Zn(OH)6FBr, in contrast to a sharp magnon Raman peak in the Kagome antiferromagnet EuCu3(OH)6Cl3.
