    Spin Ice: Microscopic Physics

    This chapter describes the microscopic physics of the rare-earth pyrochlore oxides, focussing on the lattice structure, the strong spin-orbit coupling, the crystal electric field and the large magnetic moment....

    Special temperatures in frustrated ferromagnets

    The description and detection of unconventional magnetic states, such as spin liquids, is a recurring topic in condensed matter physics. While much of the efforts have traditionally been directed at geometrica...

    Pressure-induced crystallization of a spin liquid

    Liquids are expected to crystallize at low temperature. The only exception is helium, which can remain liquid at 0 K, owing to quantum fluctuations1,2. Similarly, the atomic magnetic moments (spins) in a magnet a...

    Muon spin relaxation investigation of frustrated antiferromagnetic pyrochlores A2B2O7

    In a system where magnetic ions occupy the vertices of edge or corner sharing triangular units, the natural antiferromagnetic coupling between ions is geometrically frustrated. A wide variety of interesting ma...

    Depolarization in reentrant spin glasses: a comparison between neutron and muon probes

    In the amorphous ( Fe1-x Mn_x)75 P16 B_6 Al_3 alloys, muon and neutron depolarization data, combined with the results of small angle neutron scattering, magnetization and Mössbauer spectroscopy, probe the existen...

    Stability Analysis of Diffusion-Controlled Growth: Onset of Instabilities and Breakdown of the Linear Regime

    It is shown that the limit of validity of a linear stability analysis for diffusive-growth type problems such as viscous fingering and crystal growth can be estimated without solving the problem to higher orde...
