新物質・理論インフォーマルセミナー:Targeted Synthesis of Hybrid Metal Organic Spin Liquids
e-mail: hmori@issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp,oshikawa@issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp
Confining magnetic properties to two dimensions offers tremendous potential for the discovery of new properties. One intriguing possibility is creating a spin liquid whereby an infinitely degenerate magnetic ground state enables the realization of new quasiparticles.
Synthetic inorganic chemistry is the ideal vector by which to design spin liquids. Specifically we are targeting two dimensional kagome lattices, a structure predicted to house spin liquids. Danna Freedman will present prior results on the known spin liquid herbertsmithite, and Dave Harris will present a synthetic vision and progress towards the realization of a hybrid metal-organic spin liquid.
