LQM in Physics World

"Now that we know where the highly frustrated behaviour comes from, the question is whether some exotic quasiparticles can be associated with this new spin arrangement", Dr. Živković tells Physics World.
The work "Dynamics of K2Ni2(SO4)3 governed by proximity to a 3D spin liquid model", performed by researchers from LQM (EPFL), the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) in Germany and Okayama University in Japan, was recently published in Nature Communications. The experiments, lead by Dr. Iviça Živković, a Senior Scientist at LQM, were performed at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source in the UK.
Dr. Živković was recently interviewed by Dr. Isabelle Dumé, a contibutor editor to the digital magazin of the Institute of Physics for UK and Ireland, Physics World. For more details on the publication, follow the link "Nickel langbeinite might be a new quantum spin liquid candidate".
