Abstract
We describe neutron scattering, NMR relaxation, and thermal transport properties of Z2 spin liquids in two dimensions. Comparison to recent experiments on the spin S=1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet in kappa-(ET)2Cu2(CN)3 shows that this compound may realize a Z2 spin liquid. We argue that the topological "vison" excitations dominate thermal transport, and that recent thermal conductivity experiments by M. Yamashita et al. have observed the vison gap.Entities:
