Despite the absence of an apparent triangular pattern in the crystal structure, we observe unusually well pronounced 1/3 magnetization plateaus in the quasi one-dimensional Ising spin chain compound CoGeO$_3$ which belongs to the class of…
Ni3V2O8 and Co3V2O8 have spin-1 and spin-3/2 magnetic lattices that are a new anisotropic variant of the Kagome net, wherein edge-sharing MO6 octahedra form the rises and rungs of a "Kagome staircase". The anisotropy largely relieves the…
Materials that realize Kitaev spin models with bond-dependent anisotropic interactions have long been searched for, as the resulting frustration effects are predicted to stabilize novel forms of magnetic order or quantum spin liquids. Here…
Hexagonal HoMnO$_{3}$ is a frustrated antiferromagnet (T$_{N}$=72 K) ferroelectric (T$_{C}$=875 K) in which these two order parameters are coupled. Our neutron measurements of the spin wave dispersion for the S=2 Mn$^{3+}$ on the layered…
We investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of the pyrochlore oxide Cd$_2$Os$_2$O$_7$ using the density-functional theory plus on-site repulsion ($U$) method, and depict the ground-state phase diagram with respect to $U$. We…
Symmetry arguments are used to develop a spin Hamiltonian for the description of the complex magnetic ordering in HoMnO$_3$. Using a novel application of the Landau Lifshitz Gilbert dynamic torque equations to this model of the frustrated…
A theoretical description is presented for low-temperature magnetic-field induced three-dimensional (3D) ordering transitions in strongly anisotropic quantum antiferromagnets, consisting of weakly coupled antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chains…
We report a resonant inelastic X-ray scattering study on a single crystal of a non-stoichiometric pyrochlore iridate Tb$_{2+x}$Ir$_{2-x}$O$_{7-y}$ ($x \simeq 0.25$) that magnetically orders at $T_{\rm{N}}\simeq 50$ K. We find that the…
Using magnetic neutron scattering we characterize an unusual low temperature phase in orthorhombic SrCuO2. The material contains zigzag spin ladders formed by pairs of S=1/2 chains (J=180 meV) coupled through a weak frustrated interaction…
Sr$_{3}$ZnIrO$_{6}$ is an effective spin one-half Mott insulating iridate belonging to a family of magnets which includes a number of quasi-one dimensional systems as well as materials exhibiting three dimensional order. Here we present the…
Synthesis, thermodynamic properties, and microscopic magnetic model of ilinskite-type KCu$_{5}$O$_2$(SeO$_3$)$_2$Cl$_3$ built by corner-sharing Cu$_4$ tetrahedra are reported, and relevant magnetostructural correlations are discussed.…
We investigate the effect of the experimentally observed Jahn-Teller distortion of the oxygen octahedra in LaTiO3 on the magnetic exchange. We present a localized model for the effective hopping between nearest-neighbor Ti ions and the…
Spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic triangular lattice models are paradigms of geometrical frustration, revealing very different ground states and quantum effects depending on the nature of anisotropies in the model. Due to strong spin orbit…
$\gamma$-triclinic and $\alpha$-monoclinic polymorphs of CoV$_{2}$O$_{6}$ are two of the few known transition metal ion based materials that display stepped $1/3$ magnetization plateaus at low temperatures. Neutron diffraction [M. Markkula…
Magnetic order and the underlying magnetic model of the multiferroic pyroxene NaFeGe2O6 are systematically investigated by neutron powder diffraction, thermodynamic measurements, density-functional bandstructure calculations, and…
Magnetic order on the spatially anisotropic triangular lattice of $\alpha$-NaMnO$_2$ is studied via neutron diffraction measurements. The transition into a commensurate, collinear antiferromagnetic ground state with $\mathbf{k}=(0.5, 0.5,…
The Ba3Cu3In4O12 stands for unique topology of the magnetic subsystem. It consists of rotated by 90\Box$^b$ relative to each other "paper-chain" columns made of vertex-sharing CuIO4 and CuIIO4 planar units. The overall pattern of the copper…
CoSeO$_4$ has a structure consisting of edge-sharing chains of Co$^{2+}$ octahedra which are held together by SeO$_4^{2-}$ tetrahedra via shared oxygen atoms at the edges of the octahedra. DC magnetization measurements indicate a transition…
We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitations in Ba2CuTeO6, proposed by ab initio calculations to magnetically realize weakly coupled antiferromagnetic two-leg spin-1/2 ladders. Isolated ladders are…
Electrons hopping on the sites of a three-dimensional pyrochlore lattice are shown to form topologically non-trivial insulating phases when the spin-orbit (SO) coupling and lattice distortions are present. Of 16 possible topological classes…
