“…In quantum magnets, many theoretical microscopic models have been proposed for realizing the Bose metal, including different kinds of spin ladders (Motrunich and Fisher, 2007;Sheng et al, 2008;Sheng, Motrunich, and Fisher, 2009;Mishmash et al, 2011), 2D kagome lattices (Balents, Fisher, and Girvin, 2002;Dang, Inglis, and Melko, 2011), square lattices (Schaffer, Burkov, and Melko, 2009;Tay and Motrunich, 2011), and a 2D honeycomb lattice- (Block et al, 2011;Varney et al, 2011). Here the Bose metal is of course not metallic in the sense of conducting electricity, but in the sense of conducting heat at T ¼ 0.…”
