Discovery of Honeycomb and Kagomé Quantum Magnets

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

In this talk, I will present recent results on the discovery of kagome and honeycomb quantum magnets. Particular focus will be placed on the development of cobalt and rare earth based honeycomb materials, and the similarities and differences between integer and half-integer spin ions. The discovery of bidirectional twisting in MgCo6Ge6 will also be discussed and put in context. If time permits, I will also report on emerging materials discoveries that have the potential to reveal Kitaev spin liquid ground states.
