Resolving Local Structure in Organic Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate Materials with High Resolution Diffuse Scattering

The purpose of this proposal is to use high-resolution X-ray diffuse scattering to study the disordered structure of organic quantum materials and to build an understanding of their true local structure. Organic quantum materials offer great promise for sensitive devices due to their highly-tuneable, soft lattices which accommodate superconducting, charge-ordered, and insulating states depending on composition and applied external fields.
