Spin and lattice dynamics in the low-dimensional quantum magnet (NO)Cu(NO₃)₃ — Vladimir Gnezdilov¹, •Dirk Wulferding², Peter Lemmens², Yurii Pashkevich³, Olga Volkova⁴, Igor Morozov⁴, and Alexander Vasiliev⁴ — ¹ILTPE NAS, Ukraine — ²IPKM, TU-BS, Braunschweig, Germany — ³DonFTI, Donetsk, Ukraine — ⁴MSU, Moscow, Russia

We present excitation spectra of (NO)Cu(NO₃)₃, a topological realization of the 2D Nersesyan-Tsvelik model with possible RVB or VBC ground states. The phonons display a temperature dependence and anomalies due to strong spin-lattice coupling which has not been considered in previous investigations. In addition, a broad magnetic continuum is observed and used to investigate the spin dynamics. Work supported by DFG, B-IGSM and NTH School for Contacts in Nanosystems.
