Spin dynamics in a strongly frustrated quantum magnet
Theory suggests that J1-J2 square lattice strongly frustrated magnets hosts a spin-nematic state- an exotic quantum phase- in an applied magnetic field. In order to realize this exotic phase, BaCd(VO)(PO4)2 is proposed as the best known realization of a J1-J2 square lattice model. We have successfully synthesized single crystals of BaCd(VO)(PO4)2 isotopically enriched in Cd114 to above 98%. In house bulk measurements on this compound indeed show a new emerging phase- potentially spin nematic. The outcomes of these measurements also indicates that the Hamiltonian of the system is not simply of a square lattice. In this proposed study at ThALES, we want to study zero field dispersion relation to understand ground state properties of this system.
