Many studies have focused on Heisenberg spin 1/2 systems, where quantum fluctuations are expected to be strongest. Here I will present measurements on a new low dimensional magnet Yb2Pt2Pb, where fractional, quantum spinon excitations are realized from one dimensional ladders with classical Yb Ising moments. Both elastic and inelastic neutron scattering data on Yb2Pt2Pb single crystals will be presented. In contrast to 1D Heisenberg spin 1/2 chains, the broad continuum of excitations observed in Yb2Pt2Pb is extended to much higher energies, indicating four spinon excitations are important in this system.
