Kagome lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets are known to be highly sensitive to perturbations caused by the structural disorder. NMR is a local probe ideally suited for investigating such disorder-induced effects, but in practice, large distributions in the conventional one-dimensional NMR data make it difficult to distinguish the intrinsic behavior expected for pristine kagome quantum spin liquids from disorder-induced effects. Here we report the development of a two-dimensional NMR data acquisition scheme applied to Zn-barlowite (Zn_0.95Cu_0.05)Cu₃(OD)₆FBr kagome lattice, and successfully correlate the distribution of the low energy spin excitations with that of the local spin susceptibility. We present evidence for the gradual growth of domains with a local spin polarization induced by 5% Cu²⁺ defect spins occupying the interlayer non-magnetic Zn²⁺sites. These spin-polarized domains account for ~60% of the sample volume at 2 K, where gapless excitations induced by interlayer defects dominate the low-energy sector of spin excitations within the kagome planes.
