Raman Circular Dichroism of Chiral Quantum Spin Liquids

SPICE Workshop on Quantum Geometry and Transport of Collective Excitations in (Non-)Magnetic Insulators, May 6th - 8th 2025

Johannes Knolle

We investigate the Raman circular dichroism (RCD) of chiral Quantum spin liquids as a probe of the topological properties of fractionalised spin excitations. Starting from the Loudon Fleury formalism we show that the scattering Intensity is directly related to the light matter coupling formalism of spinon bands. We reveal that the RCD signal arises as a result of the Berry curvature and Quantum geometry contributions. We show application to different model quantum spin liquids.
