Comment on "Case for a U(1)pi Quantum Spin Liquid Ground State in the Dipole-Octupole Pyrochlore Ce2Zr2O7" by E. M. Smith et al., Phys. Rev. X 12, 021015 (2022)

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

All interpretations of extensive magnetic neutron scattering data in the cited paper are at fault [Phys. Rev. X 12, 021015]. For, the expressions for scattered intensities therein do not contain the cerium multipole whose likely contribution to the magnetic state of the pyrochlore is a principal goal of the published investigation. The Comment includes a brief look at essential corrections to the theory.
