Quantum simulation of frustrated classical magnetism in triangular optical lattices.
Magnetism plays a key role in modern technology and stimulates research in several branches of condensed matter physics. Although the theory of classical magnetism is well developed, the demonstration of a widely tunable experimental system has remained an elusive goal. Here, we present the realization of a large-scale simulator for classical magnetism on a triangular lattice by exploiting the ...
متن کاملHalf-magnetization plateaux in Cr spinels
Magnetization plateaux, visible as anomalies in magnetic susceptibility at low temperatures, are one of the hallmarks of frustrated magnetism. An extremely robust halfmagnetization plateau is observed in the spinel oxides CdCr2O4 and HgCr2O4, where it is accompanied by a substantial lattice distortion. We give an overview of the present state experiment for CdCr2O4 and HgCr2O4, and show how suc...
متن کاملNeutron-scattering studies of magnetism in multiferroic HoMnO3 „invited..
Hexagonal HoMnO3 is a frustrated antiferromagnet TN=72 K ferroelectric TC=875 K with a rich magnetic phase diagram consisting of multiple temperatureand field-dependent phases. Previously observed anomalies in the dielectric constant at magnetic phase transitions indicate strong coupling between the ferroelectricity and magnetism. Neutron-diffraction measurements in a magnetic field reveal new ...
متن کاملFrustration effects in magnetic molecules
Besides being a fascinating class of new materials, magnetic molecules provide the opportunity to study concepts of condensed matter physics in zero dimensions. This contribution will exemplify the impact of molecular magnetism on concepts of frustrated spin systems. We will discuss spin rings and the unexpected rules that govern their low-energy behavior. Rotational bands, which are experiment...
متن کاملMultiple field-induced phase transitions in the geometrically frustrated dipolar magnet: Gd(2) Ti(2)O(7).
Field-driven phase transitions generally arise from competition between Zeeman energy and exchange or crystal-field anisotropy. Here we present the phase diagram of a frustrated pyrochlore magnet Gd(2)Ti(2)O(7), where crystal-field splitting is small compared to the dipolar energy. We find good agreement between zero-temperature critical fields and those obtained from a mean-field model. Here, ...
