Coexistence of static order and spin dynamics in an S = 5/2 frustrated triangular antiferromagnet

U. Jena, B. Sana, Satish Kumar +6

Frustrated triangular-lattice antiferromagnets in the classical high-spin limit provide a paradigmatic setting in which the interplay of competing exchange interactions, anisotropy…

Melting upon cooling in a quantum magnet

K. Jaksetič, T. Arh, M. Pregelj +19

Heating enhances thermal fluctuations and typically leads to melting of solids, but in exceptional cases, heating can also cause liquids to solidify. The paradigm of this counterin…

Dimensional reduction by singlet blockade in the distorted kagome magnet YCa(CrO)(BO)

Umashankar Jena, Satish Kumar, Harald O. Jeschke +3

The distorted kagome borate YCa(CrO)(BO) has a Curie-Weiss temperature of -140 K and shows no magnetic order down to mK. We determine its Heisenberg Hamiltonia…
