A TLAF is an archetypal geometrically frustrated magnetic system, which serves as the foundation for many exotic states, including quantum spin-liquids. Here, Park et al perform INS measurements on BLCTO, which, combined with theoretical calculations, reveal distinctive fingerprints of spinon excitations, thereby suggesting proximity to a spin liquid even in the presence of strong XXZ anisotropy.
