In this project, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering on single crystals and powder samples will be used to study magnetic properties of both itinerant and insulating materials that host exotic ground states resulting from magnetic frustration. The aim of the project is to understand emergent low-temperature phases, such as quantum spin liquids, spin-nematic order, or skyrmion lattices, in several representative frustrated materials via their magnetic fluctuation spectrum. Our experimental methods will include conventional neutron diffraction and small-angle scattering, triple-axis and time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy with unpolarized and polarized neutrons, including measurements at sub-kelvin temperatures and in magnetic field.
