In recent years, many new copper minerals have been discovered in the volcanic regions of the Kamchatka peninsula. The speaker has found several frustrated low-dimensional quantum magnets in these Kamchatka copper minerals, synthesized them artificially, and investigated their spin states. In this talk, I will introduce the role of the SR method, which is a highly sensitive method for detecting spin dynamics and/or static internal magnetic fields, in these artificial minerals. The importance of complementary use with neutron scattering experiments will also be discussed.
