Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide

Abstract:

There is increasing interest in the role of materials with correlated structural disorder in mimicking the exotic properties exploited in electronic condensed matter phases. Spin ices, for example, are important class of frustrated magnets in which the spin configuration obeys the `two-in two-out' ice rules that govern proton order in water-ice. Such ice rules are implicated in a wide range of functional responses in different materials, from heavy-fermion behaviour to superconductivity. I...
