Quantum magnetism in minerals

DS Inosov - Advances in Physics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

Emergence of nontrivial magnetic excitations in a spin-liquid state of kagomé volborthite

D Watanabe, K Sugii, M Shimozawa… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
When quantum fluctuations destroy underlying long-range ordered states, novel quantum
states emerge. Spin-liquid (SL) states of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets, in which …
