PAST EVENT

Details

The subtle interplay between competing degrees of freedom can lead to rich and diverse correlated quantum phenomena in modern condensed matter. Highly frustrated magnets are ideal to host a plethora of correlated quantum states such as quantum spin liquid. Quantum spin liquid refers to a novel state wherein frustration-induced strong quantum fluctuations preclude symmetry breaking phase transitions even at T→0 in magnetic materials despite strong exchange interaction between spins leading to strong quantum entanglement. Experimental realization of quantum spin liquids in frustrated magnets with spin dimensionality greater than one is an outstanding theme in quantum materials. The current challenge is to design and explore quantum materials without defects and disorder that could offer a viable ground for the ideal realization of quantum spin liquids with exotic excitations. In this talk, I will present some of our recent results on a few frustrated magnets.
