A spin liquid with pinch-line singularities on the pyrochlore lattice
Owen Benton, Ludovic D. C. Jaubert, Han Yan +1
The mathematics of gauge theories lies behind many of the most profound advances in physics in the last 200 years, from Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism to Einstein's theory of…
A Kagome Map of Spin Liquids: from XXZ to Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Ferromagnet
K. Essafi, Owen Benton, Ludovic D. C. Jaubert
The kagome lattice sits at the crossroad of present research efforts in quantum spin liquids, chiral phases, emergent skyrmion excitations and anomalous Hall effects to name but a…
Ground-state selection and spin-liquid behaviour in the classical Heisenberg model on the breathing pyrochlore lattice
Owen Benton, Nic Shannon
Magnetic pyrochlore oxides, including the spin ice materials, have proved to be a rich field for the study of geometrical frustration in 3 dimensions. Recently, a new family of mag…
Are multiphase competition & order-by-disorder the keys to understanding Yb2Ti2O7?
L. D. C. Jaubert, Owen Benton, Jeffrey G. Rau +4
If magnetic frustration is most commonly known for undermining long-range order, as famously illustrated by spin liquids, the ability of matter to develop new collective mechanisms…
Classical and quantum theories of proton disorder in hexagonal water ice
Owen Benton, Olga Sikora, Nic Shannon
It has been known since the pioneering work of Bernal, Fowler and Pauling that common, hexagonal (Ih) water ice is the archetype of a frustrated material : a proton-bonded network…
