项目摘要
Non-technical abstractCurrently, immense global experimental efforts are directed at finding quantum spin liquids (QSLs), a theoretically-predicted state of magnetic materials in which the spins, or atom-size bar-magnets, exhibit liquid-like properties down to the lowest possible temperatures. QSLs can be efficiently used to create quantum bits, “qubits”, as they can store information encoded simultaneously in the states of multiple spins, and hence protected from local noise. Thus, QSLs hold great promise as a platform for future computing and communication technology. A present barrier to their realization is randomly located impurities and defects that can convert a QSL into another state of matter, “spin glass”, in which the spins freeze in random orientations, similar to how silicon atoms possess random positions in window glass. This research investigates the effect of impurities and defects on the fundamental properties of geometrically frustrated magnets, the largest class of materials in which QSLs are being sought. Through systematically controlling defects during material synthesis, and theoretically modeling the resulting behavior, the team is laying the foundations for future engineering of QSL-based devices. The broader impacts of this research are both the development of synthesis methods for reducing defects in crystalline specimens and the theoretical understanding that will inform future processing endeavors. In addition, the research helps train junior researchers directly involved in the project, as well as the broader community through instructional media and data that are accessible on open-source platforms such as the NSF’s Crystal Sample Archive. Technical abstractThis research is a combined experimental and theoretical effort to systematically investigate the effect of quenched disorder on collective magnetism in geometrically frustrated (GF) materials and to determine the synthesis barriers to obtaining pure materials. The research includes synthesis of materials spanning the entire range of spin density from dilute spin, to concentrated disordered spins, to dilute impurities, en route to ultra-pure materials. Part of the work uses quenched disorder as a probe of fundamental properties of GF magnetism. The measurements of the thermodynamic properties of disordered GF materials aim to uncover microscopic Hamiltonians of GF systems, reveal possible universality classes of disorder-induced spin-glass transitions, investigate the origin of the recently discovered “hidden energy scale” in these systems and reveal the nature of elementary excitations in them. The work includes theoretical calculations of the thermodynamic manifestations of the microscopic details of the Hamiltonians, exploring the interplay of different types of disorder in GF media and constructing models for the “hidden energy scale” and the behavior of heat capacity in GF magnets, which is used to make prediction and explain experimental data. Part of this research may result in obtaining materials that exhibit strong quantum-spin-liquid behavior and demonstrating the irrelevance of quenched disorder in them.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
非技术摘要目前,巨大的全球实验努力都指向寻找量子自旋液体(QSL),这是一种理论上预测的磁性材料状态,其中自旋或原子大小的条形磁体在最低可能温度下表现出类似液体的性质。QSL可以有效地用于创建量子比特,“量子比特”,因为它们可以存储在多个自旋状态下同时编码的信息,从而免受局部噪声的影响。因此,QSL作为未来计算和通信技术的平台具有很大的前景。目前实现它们的障碍是随机定位的杂质和缺陷,它们可以将QSL转换为另一种物质状态,即“自旋玻璃”,其中自旋以随机方向冻结,类似于硅原子在窗口玻璃中具有随机位置。本研究探讨了杂质和缺陷对几何阻挫磁体基本性能的影响,这是正在寻求QSL的最大一类材料。通过在材料合成过程中系统地控制缺陷,并从理论上对所产生的行为进行建模,该团队正在为未来基于QSL的器件的工程设计奠定基础。这项研究的更广泛的影响是减少晶体样品中缺陷的合成方法的发展,以及将为未来的加工努力提供信息的理论理解。此外,该研究有助于培训直接参与该项目的初级研究人员,以及通过可在NSF的Crystal Sample Archive等开源平台上访问的教学媒体和数据的更广泛社区。技术摘要本研究是一个实验和理论相结合的努力,系统地调查淬火无序几何挫折(GF)材料的集体磁性的影响,并确定合成障碍,以获得纯材料。该研究包括材料的合成,跨越整个范围的自旋密度从稀自旋,集中无序自旋,稀释杂质,途中超纯材料。部分工作使用淬灭无序作为GF磁性的基本性质的探针。无序GF材料热力学性质的测量旨在揭示GF系统的微观哈密顿量,揭示无序诱导自旋玻璃转变的可能普适性类别,研究这些系统中最近发现的“隐藏能量标度”的起源,并揭示其中的元激发的性质。这项工作包括对哈密顿量微观细节的热力学表现的理论计算,探索GF介质中不同类型的无序的相互作用,以及构建GF磁体中“隐藏能量标度”和热容行为的模型,用于预测和解释实验数据。这项研究的一部分可能会导致获得表现出强量子自旋液体行为的材料,并证明其中淬火无序的无关性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
