Probing magnetic excitations in an S = 1/2 candidate Quantum Spin Liquid: Metal-Organic Framework

Abstract: Quantum Spin Liquids (QSL) have attracted considerable research interest in recent times due to their fundamental physics and future technological application in quantum communications. In this work, we try to explore the possibility of spin liquid ground state in a quasi-one-dimensional copper-based Metal-Organic Framework (MOF). All the experimental results, which include thermodynamic properties as well as muon spin relaxation (MuSR), confirm the absence of magnetic phase transition with further indication of dynamic correlated spin state. These observations are consistent with QSL like state. Therefore, in order to unveil the true nature of the ground state, information on low energy magnetic excitations is highly desirable. We therefore propose here to perform inelastic neutron scattering experiments on this compound.
