Artificial spin ices are arrays of coupled nanomagnets, which exhibit a variety of fascinating collective behaviour including emergent magnetic monopoles, charge screening, and novel phase transitions. However, they have mainly been…
Geometrical frustration describes situations where interactions are incompatible with the lattice geometry and stabilizes exotic phases such as spin liquids. Whether geometrical frustration of magnetic interactions in metals can induce…
Geometrical frustration in strongly correlated systems can give rise to a plethora of novel ordered states and intriguing magnetic phases, such as quantum spin liquids. Promising candidate materials for such phases can be described by the…
Spin crossover materials contain metal ions that can access two spin-states: one low-spin (LS), the other high-spin (HS). We propose that frustrated elastic interactions can give rise to spin-state ices -- phases of matter without…
Motivated by recent experiments on BaCuSi2O6, we investigate magnetic excitations and quantum phase transitions of layered dimer magnets with inter-layer frustration. We consider two scenarios, (A) a lattice with one dimer per unit cell and…
Geometric frustration is a phenomenon in a lattice system where not all interactions can be satisfied, the simplest example being antiferromagnetically coupled spins on a triangular lattice. Frustrated systems are characterized by their…
Geometric frustration inhibits magnetic systems from ordering, opening a window to unconventional phases of matter. The paradigmatic frustrated lattice in three dimensions to host a spin liquid is the pyrochlore, although there remain few…
Geometric frustration is a widespread phenomenon in physics, materials science, and biology, occurring when the geometry of a system prevents local interactions from being all accommodated. The resulting manifold of nearly degenerate…
Artificial square spin ices are structures composed of magnetic elements arranged on a geometrically frustrated lattice and located on the sites of a two-dimensional square lattice, such that there are four interacting magnetic elements at…
Using spin-wave theory, we show that geometric frustration fails to preserve a two-dimensional spin fluid. Even though frustration can remove the interlayer coupling in the ground-state of a classical anti-ferromagnet, spin layers…
Recent progress in nanofabrication has led to the emergence of three-dimensional magnetic nanostructures as a vibrant field of research. This includes the study of three-dimensional arrays of interconnected magnetic nanowires with tunable…
A non-technical introduction to the theory of magnets with strong geometric frustration is given, concentrating on magnets on corner-sharing (kagome, pyrochlore, SCGO and GGG) lattices. Their rich behaviour is traced back to a large…
On a lattice composed of triangular plaquettes where antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between localized spins cannot be simultaneously satisfied, the system becomes geometrically frustrated with magnetically disordered phases…
We predict and observed novel highly anisotropic magnetic patterns obtained in the model of frustrated planar interacting magnetic moments (the classical $X-Y$ model) on the regular kagome lattice. The frustration is provided by the…
Dimensionality is a critical factor in determining the properties of solids and is an apparent built-in character of the crystal structure. However, it can be an emergent and tunable property in geometrically frustrated spin systems. Here,…
Magnetic frustration is a route that can lead to the emergence of novel ground states, including spin liquids and spin ices. Such frustration can be introduced through either the geometry of lattice structures or by incompatible exchange…
Geometric frustration in quantum spin systems can lead to exotic ground states. In this study, we investigate the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ spin model on the checkerboard lattice to explore the effects of frustration arising from its point-connected…
Quantum spin-1/2 kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the representative frustrated system possibly hosting a spin liquid. Clarifying the nature of this elusive topological phase is a key challenge in condensed matter, however, even…
Recently, significant interest has emerged in fabricated systems that mimic the behavior of geometrically-frustrated materials. We present the full realization of such an artificial spin ice system on a two-dimensional kagome lattice and…
Highly frustrated systems have macroscopically degenerate ground states that lead to novel properties. In magnetism its consequences underpin exotic and technologically important effects, such as, high temperature superconductivity,…
