| Research Abstract |
We investigated remarkable quantum effects in strongly frustrated spin systems. We performed magnetization measurement on Ba3CoSb2O9, and provide evidence that a spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a regular triangular lattice is actually realized in Ba3CoSb2O9. We found that the entire magnetization curve is in excellent quantitative agreement with the theoretical calculations.
Magnetic excitations in the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet Cs2Cu3SnF12 with an ordered ground state were studied using inelastic neutron scattering. Although the spin-wave dispersion can be qualitatively understood in terms of linear spin-wave theory (LSWT), the excitation energies are renormalized by a factor of approximately 0.6 from those calculated by LSWT. This result provides the first evidence of negative quantum renormalization. We determined the crystal structure of the spin dimer magnet Ba2CoSi2O6Cl2, and observed quantization of magnetization at half of the saturation magnetization.
