We study the spin-1 honeycomb lattice magnets with frustrated exchange interactions. The proposed microscopic spin model contains first and second neighbor Heisenberg interactions as well as the single-ion anisotropy. We establish a rich…
Magnetic materials with the spinel structure (A$^{2+}$B$^{3+}_2$O$^4$) form the core of numerous magnetic devices, but ZnFe$_2$O$_4$ constitutes a peculiar example where the nature of the magnetism is still unresolved. Susceptibility…
The nature of the magnetic ground state of highly frustrated systems remained puzzling to this day. Here, we have performed multifrequency electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on a putative quantum spin liquid compound…
A study of the magnetic properties of the frustrated rare earth oxide SrGd2O4 has been completed using bulk property measurements of magnetization, susceptibility and specific heat on single crystal samples. Two zero-field phase transitions…
Ground state and thermodynamics of geometrically frustrated spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on two different but topologically related triangles-in-triangles lattices is investigated in particular. A rigorous mapping based on generalized…
We report the magnetic phase transitions of a spin-5/2, 2-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnet (AFM) Na$_2$BaMn(PO$_4$)$_2$. From specific heat measurements, we observe two magnetic transitions at temperatures 1.15 K and 1.30 K at…
Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice is perhaps the best known example of frustrated magnets, but it orders at low temperatures. Recent density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations find that next nearest…
We demonstrate that frustrated exchange interactions can produce exotic 3D crystals of vortex strings near the saturation field (H=Hsat) of body- and face-centered cubic Mott insulators. The combination of cubic symmetry and frustration…
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…
We have studied the spin ordering of a dilute classical Heisenberg model with spin concentration $x$, and with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interaction $J_1$ and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interaction $J_2$. Magnetic phases…
We discuss the magnetic ground state and properties of a frustrated two-dimensional classical Heisenberg model of interacting hexagonal clusters of spins. The energy of the ground states is found exactly for arbitrary values of $J_1$…
We develop a general framework, which combines exact diagonalization in small clusters with a density matrix variational principle, to study frustrated magnets at finite temperature. This thermodynamic hierarchical mean-field technique is…
Competing interactions in Quantum Materials induce novel states of matter such as frustrated magnets, an extensive field of research both from the theoretical and experimental perspectives. Here, we show that competing energy scales present…
We consider $S=1$ triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets with a strong single-ion anisotropy $D$ that dominates over the nearest-neighbour antiferromagnetic exchange $J$. In this limit of small $J/D$, we study low temperature ($T…
We have found an unusual competition of two frustration mechanisms in the 2D quantum antiferromagnet Cs$_2$CoBr$_4$. The key actors are the alternation of single-ion planar anisotropy direction of the individual magnetic Co$^{2+}$ ions, and…
The bipartite entanglement is rigorously examined in the spin-$1/2$ Ising-Heisenberg planar lattice composed of identical inter-connected bipyramidal plaquettes at zero and finite temperatures using the quantity called concurrence. It is…
We investigate a frustrated Heisenberg spin-1/2 antiferromagnet on a fractal lattice of dimension d=ln3/ln2 (Sierpinski gasket). Calculations were performed using (a) exact diagonalization of all eigenstates and eigenvectors for systems up…
Both Ba$_4$Mn$_3$O$_{10}$ and Sr$_4$Mn$_3$O$_{10}$ crystallize in an orthorhombic crystal structure consisting of corrugated layers containing Mn$_3$O$_{12}$ polydedra. The thermal variation of magnetic susceptibility of the compositions…
We report the low-temperature coexistence in NdFe3(BO3)4 of an incommensurate magnetic phase with a strained commensurate magnetic phase that is primarily at the surface of the crystal. Increasing the temperature or magnetic field decreases…
The absence of conventional magnetic order together with anomalous low-temperature magnetic heat capacity is often interpreted as evidence for quantum spin liquid ground states in frustrated magnets. Using a recently developed semiclassical…
