Updating the phase diagram of the archetypal frustrated magnet Gd3Ga5O12
Författare
Summary, in English
The applied magnetic field and temperature phase diagram of the archetypal frustrated magnet, Gd3Ga5O12, has been reinvestigated using single-crystal magnetometry and polarized neutron diffraction. The updated phase diagram is substantially more complicated than previously reported and can be understood in terms of competing interactions with loops of spins, trimers, and decagons, in addition to competition and interplay between antiferromagnetic, incommensurate, and ferromagnetic order. Several additional distinct phase boundaries are presented. The phase diagram centers around a multiphase convergence to a single point at 0.9 T and similar to 0.35 K, below which, in temperature, a very narrow magnetically disordered region exists. These data illustrate the richness and diversity that arise from frustrated exchange on the three-dimensional hyperkagome lattice.
