Magnetic Properties of Triangular-Lattice Materials Li<sub>4</sub>CoTeO<sub>6</sub> and Li<sub>4</sub>NiTeO<sub>6</sub>

POSTER

Abstract

In this poster, I will discuss two materials, Li4CoTeO6 and Li4NiTeO6, in which Ni and Co ions with effective spin-1 and spin-1/2 each occupy a triangular lattice. We performed thermodynamic and magnetization measurements which indicate a possible exotic magnetic ground-state in both materials. We then performed elastic neutron scattering, providing additional evidence for exotic magnetism in these materials. The next step of our research will be to perform inelastic neutron scattering on powder samples to probe the nature of the magnetic correlations.
