This remarkable temperature behavior has to do with the fact that the pyrochlore magnet does not have a perfect lattice structure that always repeats itself in exactly the same way. The composition of ...

Figure one shows the pyrochlore lattice structure of spin ice and spins on a tetrahedron. The left shows Pyrochlore lattice structure. Each lattice point (red) hosts an electron spin. The right shows ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is around 10 to 15 centimetres taller in summer than in winter due to its thermal expansion. However, this effect is ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...

A study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C reports a collaboration between theoretical researchers at TU Wien (Vienna) and experimentalists at the University of Science and Technology ...
