M1-8 Frustrated Magnetism (DCMMP) / Magnétisme frustré (DPMCM)
- Michel Gingras
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...
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...
