Dr Tanmoy Chakraborty, Assistant Professor of Physics, SIAS, Krea University, has co-authored a research paper titled 31P NMR Studies of the 1/3-Depleted Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Kagomé Lattice System BaCu₂(PO₄)₂(H₂O), published in Physical Review B.
About the paper: The word “Kagomé” has a Japanese origin meaning basket with eyes referring to the pattern of corner-shared triangles in a woven basket. In the research field of “strongly correlated spin systems” it is one of the canonical examples of geometrically frustrated spins. In this work, the authors have synthesized one single crystalline material where the spin network is 1/3-depleted Cu 2+ kagomé layers. The authors have used magic angle spinning (MAS) – nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and theoretical (DFT+U) electronic structure calculations to validify their model spin network. Their work is published in Physical Review B involving six different research groups across three different countries.
