Explore the fundamentals of frustrated magnets in this comprehensive 56-minute lecture by Yogesh Singh from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the world of quantum magnetism, covering topics from basic concepts to advanced experimental findings. Learn about the interplay between quantum fluctuations and competing interactions in frustrated quantum magnets, and their potential for exploring unconventional phases of condensed matter. Discover the journey from materials to models, using La2CuO4 as a case study, and understand key concepts such as the Mott-Hubbard insulator and the Heisenberg model. Examine various frustrated lattices, including the Shastry-Sutherland lattice and Kagome structures, and their experimental signatures. Gain insights into quantum spin liquids, valence bond states, and novel frustration mechanisms. This lecture, part of the 2nd Asia Pacific Workshop on Quantum Magnetism, offers a rich blend of theoretical understanding and experimental observations in the field of frustrated magnets. Read more
