Crystal Growth and Characterization of Tb-Based Triangular Lattice Borate

ORAL

Abstract

Recently, triangular lattice antiferromagnetic materials have attracted attention because competing interactions on the lattice can give rise to exotic phenomena, such as quantum spin liquids. We have initiated systematic efforts to synthesize single crystal samples of a family of rare-earth based triangular lattice antiferromagnet borates. We have performed xray/neutron diffraction, magnetometry, and heat capacity techniques to characterize these compounds. Additionally we have carried out neutron scattering experiments to probe the static and dynamic properties of this family of geometrically frustrated compounds. In this talk, we will present the latest results of our experimental efforts obtained for Tb-based triangular lattice compound, Ba3Tb(BO3)3.
