Metastable and localized Ising magnetism in $\alpha$-CoV${}_2$O${}_6$ magnetization plateaus

L. Edwards, H. Lane, A. M. Arevalo-Lopez +10

$\alpha$-CoV${}_2$O${}_6$ consists of $j_{\mathrm{eff}}=\frac{1}{2}$ Ising spins located on an anisotropic triangular motif with magnetization plateaus in an applied field. We combine n…
