Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Recently, Kitaev materials have attracted great interest due to their potential to realize a quantum spin liquid ground state which hosts gapless Majorana excitations. In this talk, after a review of the physics of Kitaev materials, I will discuss the effects of static magnetic and electric fields on Kitaev's honeycomb model. Using the electric polarization operator appropriate for Kitaev...

541. (I) Magnetic order and spin liquid physics in cluster Mott insulators

Jeffrey Quilliam (Université de Sherbrooke)

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

I will discuss muon spin rotation (muSR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermodynamic measurements on several Mo3O8-based cluster Mott insulators consisting of a 1/6th-filled breathing Kagome lattice. Depending on sometimes subtle structural differences between these various materials, a number of different magnetic phases can be stabilized, including possible quantum spin liquids: a...
