Directly Probing Spin Fluctuations in Quantum Spin Liquids with X-Ray Free Electron Lasers

Tommaso Pardini | 18-LW-022

Executive Summary

We are developing a novel experimental technique for detecting quantum spin fluctuations, which would allow us to detect quantum spin liquids, an elusive state of matter with remarkable properties. This project will provide a unique and direct tool to detect the quantum spin liquid characteristics in candidate magnets.
