Organic spin liquid talk at IIT-Kgp

Today I am giving a seminar in the Physics Department at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur,
"Frustrated organic Mott insulators: from quantum spin liquids to superconductors."
Slides are here.

Due to the recent Nobel Prize to Haldane, I included one slide about quantum spin liquids in one dimension.

The talk material is covered in great detail in a review article, written together with Ben Powell.
