In this article we provide a review of geometrical methods employed in the analysis of
quantum phase transitions and non-equilibrium dissipative phase transitions. After a …

Frustration in magnetic materials arising from competing exchange interactions can prevent
the system from adopting long-range magnetic order and can instead lead to a diverse …

We suggest that a randomization of the pseudodipolar interaction in the spin-orbit-generated
low-energy Hamiltonian of YbMgGaO 4 due to an inhomogeneous charge environment from …

In condensed matter physics there is a novel phase termed 'quantum spin liquid', in which
strong quantum fluctuations prevent long-range magnetic order from being estab lished, and …

We report on comprehensive results identifying the ground state of a triangular-lattice
structured YbZnGaO 4 as a spin glass, including no long-range magnetic order, prominent …

Spin systems with frustrated anisotropic interactions are of significant interest due to
possible exotic ground states. We have explored their phase diagram on a nearest-neighbor …

Polycrystalline samples of NaYbO 2 are investigated by bulk magnetization and specific-
heat measurements, as well as by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin …

We present an extensive overview of the phase diagram, spin-wave excitations, and finite-
temperature transitions of the anisotropic-exchange magnets on an ideal nearest-neighbor …

The cradle of quantum spin liquids, triangular antiferromagnets show strong proclivity to
magnetic order and require deliberate tuning to stabilize a spin-liquid state. In this brief …

The spin-1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet YbMgGaO 4 has attracted attention recently
as a quantum spin-liquid candidate with the possible presence of off-diagonal anisotropic …
