Disorder from order among anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor Ising spin chains in SrHo${}_2$O${}_4$

J. -J. Wen, W. Tian, V. O. Garlea +7

We describe why Ising spin chains with competing interactions in $\mathrm{SrH}{\mathrm{o}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_4$ segregate into ordered and disordered ensembles at low temperatures ($T$). Using elastic neutron sc…
