Short and long-ranged magnetic order in the new isotropic S = 1/2 kagome ferromagnet ND4Cu2.5V2O7(OD)2.D2O

DOI

Exotic electronic states are of great interest to fundamental science, such as the quantum spin-liquids (QSLs) which were theorised to behave like a sea of resonating spin states without preferential ordering, analogous to the liquid state. The best candidate materials for 2 dimensional QSLs are kagome magnets where the atomic magnetic moments make up a vertex-sharing lattice of triangles. While research has typically focussed on quantum S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnets, here we propose to study a new S=1/2 kagome ferromagnet, ND4Cu2.5V2O7(OD)2.D2O, which shows evidence of competing magnetic interactions and magnetic frustration, the classic situation for QSL formation. We propose to use WISH to study short- and long-ranged spin structures and so to determine the role that frustration plays in its ground state properties.
