[en] Full text: Low dimensional quantum magnets offer a rich playground with which we can explore competing magnetic interactions, which can include frustration, anisotropy effects as well as the weak interactions afforded by separating magnetic ions into reduced dimensional topologies. This can lead to a whole host of exotic ground states and exited phases. I would like to talk about a few systems which we have studied recently - systems which do not appear to behave classically. In particular I would like to highlight the role of inelastic neutron scattering and extreme sample environments which have been employed to probe the world of low dimensional magnets. As part of this presentation I will discuss recent results on Linarite and Atacamite as well as future materials we plan to study. In particular the role of theoretical modelling will be highlighted throughout this talk. (author)
