geometric frustrated magnets
Geometric frustrated magnets are materials where the arrangement of magnetic moments, or spins, cannot simultaneously align in a way that minimizes energy due to their geometric configuration. This frustration leads to complex magnetic behaviors, as the spins compete for alignment, resulting in a highly degenerate ground state.
These materials often exhibit unique properties, such as spin liquids or exotic magnetic phases, which are of great interest in condensed matter physics. Examples of geometric frustration can be found in structures like triangular or kagome lattices, where the arrangement of atoms creates competing interactions among the spins.
