Rezumat

In the Kitaev magnet α-RuCl3, the existence of a magnetic-field-induced quantum spin-liquid phase and of anyonic excitations is controversially discussed. We address this elusive, exotic phase via helicity-dependent Raman scattering and analyze the Raman optical activity of excitations as a function of magnetic field and temperature. The hotly debated field regime between 7.5 and 10.5T is characterized by clear spectroscopic signatures such as a plateau of the Raman optical activity of the dominant, chiral spin-flip excitation. This provides direct evidence for the existence of a distinct intermediate-field regime with an intriguing ground state featuring chiral excitations.
