Frustrated quantum magnets have received a lot of attention in the past decades for they are expected to host exotic magnetic states such as quantum spin liquids exhibiting fractionalized excitations and topological properties. One way to study these spin liquid phases is to perform a parton construction of the quantum Heisenberg Hamiltonian. This mean-field method has the valuable advantage of treating magnetically ordered states and spin-liquid states on an equal footing. In this thesis, we have employed such a method based on the Schwinger boson mean-field theory (SBMFT) to study two magnetically frustrated systems. After a brief introduction of the core concepts behind frustrated magnetic systems in chapter 1 we will introduce the Schwi...
