abstract = {A chiral spin liquid state is discovered in the highly
frustrated, noncentrosymmetric swedenborgite compound
YBaCo3FeO7, a layered kagome system of hexagonal symmetry,
by advanced polarized neutron scattering from a single
domain crystalline sample. The observed diffuse magnetic
neutron scattering has an antisymmetric property that
relates to its specific chirality, which consists of three
cycloidal waves perpendicular to the c axis, forming an
entity of cylindrical symmetry. Chirality and symmetry agree
with relevant antisymmetric exchanges arising from broken
spatial parity. Applying a Fourier analysis to the chiral
interference pattern, with distinction between kagome sites
and the connecting trigonal interlayer sites of threefold
symmetry, the chiral spin correlation function is
determined. Characteristic chiral waves originate from the
trigonal sites and extend over several periods in the kagome
planes. The chiral spin liquid is remarkably stable at low
temperatures despite strong antiferromagnetic spin exchange.
The observation raises a challenge, since the commonly
accepted ground states in condensed matter either have
crystalline long-range order or form a quantum liquid. We
show that, within the classical theory of magnetic order, a
disordered ground state may arise from chirality. The
present scenario, with antisymmetric exchange acting as a
frustrating gauge background that stabilizes local spin
lumps, is similar to the avoided phase transition in coupled
gauge and matter fields for subnuclear particles.},
