Topic

Quantum spin-liquid in a S=1 Ni-kagome antiferromagnet

Presenter:

Dr Eamonn Connolly, Diamond Light Source, UK

Summary

Quantum spin-liquids (QSLs) are exotic states of matter formed when conventional magnetic order is suppressed by quantum fluctuations and which produce signature fractionalized quasi-particle excitations. Low-spin kagome antiferromagnets represent ideal systems to realize these states due to their combination of strong quantum fluctuations and maximal geometric frustration. In this presentation I will introduce structural and magnetic properties of the novel S=1 kagome antiferromagnet ND₄Ni₂V₂O₇(OD)₂.D₂O, a candidate QSL material.
