By using a high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) technique, the antiferromagnetically ordered ($T_N$ = 13.5 K) 6H-A phase of Ba$_3$NiSb$_2$O$_9$ was transformed into two new gapless quantum spin liquid(QSL) candidates with S=1 (Ni$^{2+}$)…
The layered triangular lattice owing to $1:2$ order of $B$ and $B'$ sites in the triple perovskite $A_3 B B'_2$O$_9$ family provides an enticing domain for exploring the complex phenomena of quantum spin liquids (QSLs). We report a…
Here we have experimentally demonstrated spin-correlation-driven ferroelectric quantum criticality in a prototype quantum spin-liquid system, Ba3CuSb2O9, a quantum phenomenon rarely observed. The dielectric constant follows a clear T2…
The spin order in cubic perovskite SrFeO3 and BaFeO3 under high pressure is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculation with local spin density approximation plus Hubbard U (LSDA+U). At ambient pressure, A-type and G-type helical…
A quantum spin liquid state has long been predicted to arise in spin-1/2 Heisenberg square-lattice antiferromagnets at the boundary region between N\'eel (nearest-neighbor interaction dominates) and columnar (next-nearest-neighbor…
PbCuTe2O6 is a rare example of a spin liquid candidate featuring a three dimensional magnetic lattice. Strong geometric frustration arises from the dominant antiferromagnetic interaction which generates a hyperkagome network of Cu2+ ions…
Perovskite iridates of 6H hexagonal structure present a plethora of possibilities in terms of the variety of ground states resulting from a competition between spin-orbit coupling (SOC), hopping, noncubic crystal field ($\Delta_{CFE}^{NC}$)…
Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects of heavy $d$-orbital elements have long been neglected in describing the ground states of their compounds thereby overlooking a variety of fascinating and yet unexplored magnetic and electronic…
We construct and analyze a microscopic model for insulating rock salt ordered double perovskites, with the chemical formula A$_2$BB'O$_6$, where the B' atom has a 4d$^1$ or 5d$^1$ electronic configuration and forms a face centered cubic…
Ba3IrTi2O9 crystallizes in a hexagonal structure consisting of a layered triangular arrangement of Ir4+ (Jeff=1/2). Magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity data show no magnetic ordering down to 0.35K inspite of a strong magnetic coupling…
Double hydroxide perovskites with magnetic transition-metal ions were recently identified as a unique class of materials that combine magnetic frustration with correlated proton disorder-a prerequisite for quantum-disordered fluctuating…

Polycrystalline samples of NaYbO$_2$ are investigated by bulk magnetization and specific-heat measurements, as well as by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) as local probes. No signatures of long-range…
We have carried out a detailed first-principles study of a d$^{4.5}$ quaternary iridate Ba$_3$YIr$_2$O$_9$ both in its 6H-perovskite-type ambient pressure (AP) phase and also for the high pressure (HP) cubic phase. Our analysis reveals that…
