Experimental investigations of S=1/2 kagome magnets : the search for quantum spin liquids

The search for quantum spin liquids (QSL) is an enduring problem in condensed matter physics. The QSLs are a broad class of highly correlated ground states that feature large quantum fluctuations. The archetypal of which is the RVB (Resonating Valence Bond) ground state, proposed by Anderson to be t...
