Barlowite: a new mother compound of spin liquids

ORAL

Abstract

Experimental investigations of spin liquids start with finding suitable materials. Existing candidate compounds have limitations, even though the observation of spinons in herbertsmithite has marked a breakthrough. I will introduce a new mother compound of kagome spin liquids, barlowite, with its properties characterized using thermodynamic techniques. The advantages of barlowite will be discussed.
