Mechanisms for sub-gap optical conductivity in Herbertsmithite

Recent terahertz conductivity measurements observed low-power-law frequency dependence of optical conduction within the Mott gap of the kagome lattice spin-liquid candidate Herbertsmithite. We investigate mechanisms for this observed sub-gap conductivity for two possible scenarios in which the groun...
