Topological frustration (or topological mechanics) is the existence of classical zero modes that are robust to many but not all distortions of the Hamiltonian. It arises naturally from locality in systems whose interactions form a set of…

We study geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets with magnetoelastic coupling. Frustration in these systems may be relieved by a structural transition to a low temperature phase with reduced lattice symmetry. We examine the statistical…
In this work a site diluted antiferromagntic Ising model in the FCC lattice is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. At low temperatures, we find that as the external field is increased the transition from the antiferromagnetic phase to the…
