Site-Specific Structure at Multiple Length Scales in Kagome Quantum Spin Liquid Candidates
Rebecca W. Smaha, Idris Boukahil, Charles J. Titus +11
Realizing a quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground state in a real material is a leading issue in condensed matter physics research. In this pursuit, it is crucial to fully characterize…
Evidence for a Parity Broken Monoclinic Ground State in the S = 1/2 Kagomé Antiferromagnet Herbertsmithite
N. J. Laurita, A. Ron, J. W. Han +9
Nearest-neighbor interacting S = 1/2 spins on the ideal Kagomé lattice are predicted to form a variety of novel quantum entangled states, including quantum spin-liquid (SL) and val…
Materializing Rival Ground States in the Barlowite Family of Kagome Magnets: Quantum Spin Liquid, Spin Ordered, and Valence Bond Crystal States
Rebecca W. Smaha, Wei He, Jack Mingde Jiang +13
The spin- kagome antiferromagnet is considered an ideal host for a quantum spin liquid ground state. We find that when the bonds of the kagome lattice are modulated wi…
Synthesis-Dependent Properties of Barlowite and Zn-Substituted Barlowite
Rebecca W. Smaha, Wei He, John P. Sheckelton +2
The mineral barlowite, Cu(OH)FBr, has been the focus of recent attention due to the possibility of substituting the interlayer Cu site with non-magnetic ions to deve…
NiMoO: zig-zag antiferromagnetic order an integer spin non-centrosymmetric honeycomb lattice
Jennifer R. Morey, Allen Scheie, John P. Sheckelton +2
Theoretical studies have predicted the existence of topological magnons in honeycomb compounds with zig-zag antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. Here we report the discovery of zig-zag A…
Scaling and data collapse from local moments in frustrated disordered quantum spin systems
Itamar Kimchi, John P. Sheckelton, Tyrel M. McQueen +1
Recently measurements on various spin-1/2 quantum magnets such as HLiIrO, LiZnMoO, ZnCu(OH)Cl and 1T-TaS -- all described by magnetic frustr…
Rearrangement of Van-der-Waals Stacking and Formation of a Singlet State at K in a Cluster Magnet
J. P. Sheckelton, K. W. Plumb, B. A. Trump +2
Insulating NbCl is a layered chloride consisting of two-dimensional triangular layers of = 1/2 NbCl clusters at room temperature. Magnetic susceptibili…
Electronic tunability of the frustrated triangular-lattice cluster magnet LiZnMoO
J. P. Sheckelton, J. R. Neilson, T. M. McQueen
LiZnMoO is an electrically insulating geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet in which inorganic MoO clusters each behaves as a single unit, with…
Molecular Quantum Magnetism in LiZn2Mo3O8
M. Mourigal, W. T. Fuhrman, J. P. Sheckelton +5
Inelastic neutron scattering for temperatures below 30 K from a powder of LiZn2Mo3O8 demonstrates this triangular-lattice antiferromagnet hosts collective magnetic excitations from…
