| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have performed NMR measurements on the organic triangular-lattice spin liquid system EtMe3Sb[Pd(dmit)2]2. The measurements were conducted on a single crystal at ultra-low temperatures and under applied pressures. We found that a slowly fluctuating electronic state is realized around the Mott boundary, which is situated around 5 kbar. This indicates that the charge degree of freedom and the randomness, which has been overlooked previously, play a vital role to realize the spin liquid state in EtMe3Sb[Pd(dmit)2]2.
We also discovered new rare-earth quantum-spin antiferromagnets on the triangular lattice, CeZn3P3 and YbCuGe. Our NMR measurements clarified that the magnetic diagram in CeZn3P3 is affected by the quantum spin fluctuation, and that in YbCuGe extremely slow spin fluctuation remains even below the ordering temperature. These results demonstrate that the quantum spin fluctuations are still important in the magnetically ordered state of the frustrated magnets.
