Classification of classical spin liquids: Detailed formalism and suite of examples

H Yan, O Benton, AH Nevidomskyy, R Moessner - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The hallmark of highly frustrated systems is the presence of many states close in energy to
the ground state. Fluctuations between these states can preclude the emergence of any form …

Classification of classical spin liquids: Typology and resulting landscape

H Yan, O Benton, R Moessner, AH Nevidomskyy - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Classical spin liquids (CSL) lack long-range magnetic order and are characterized by an
extensive ground-state degeneracy. We propose a classification scheme of CSLs based on …
