NaRuO2 is an emergent Heisenberg- Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid candidate (HKQSL), where the interplay between different exchange interactions can facilitate long range magnetic disorder. The disordered ground state of HKQSL has unique physical properties, of special interest is their potential to facilitate topologically protected qubits. We have successfully fabricated this material with a rather unusual solid state reaction approach, and characterized the macroscopic & microscopic properties of these system using various methods. In this work we will discuss the fabrication of NaRuO2, its bulk magnetic, thermal & electric properties, and an in-depth analysis of the micro structure of NaRuO2, along with a discussion of X-ray techniques: X ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS).
