From: Nearest-neighbour resonating valence bonds in YbMgGaO4

Figure 3

(a,b) Sketch of longer-range and nearest-neighbour RVBs on the triangular lattice (for one unit cell). The red lines represent the valence bonds (spin-singlets). (c) Raw INS spectra (d) integrated INS intensities at 0.1 K under 0 and 1.8 T, after the subtraction by the corresponding spectrum measured at 35 K (0 T). Black arrows show the lower boundaries of the continuum excitations. The dashed vertical line indicates the low-energy crossing of the intensities. Error bars on INS data indicate one standard error propagated from neutron counts (using Horace-Matlab), and all measured Q space is integrated in c,d.
