Exploring New Candidates for Dirac Quantum Spin Liquids - May 14, 2024

Join a 59-minute lecture exploring the fascinating world of frustrated quantum magnets and their potential for hosting exotic states of matter. Delve into newly designed quantum magnets predicted to exhibit Quantum Spin Liquid (QSL) states - a remarkable phase where spins remain unordered at low temperatures, displaying unique properties including fractionalized excitations and topological order. Examine cutting-edge findings from thermodynamic analyses and neutron scattering experiments performed on precisely grown single-crystal samples of newly discovered rare-earth based triangular lattice compounds. Learn how these experimental results align with theoretical predictions and contribute to understanding the possible realization of Dirac QSL states in these materials.
