High degeneracy in ground states leads to the generation of exotic zero-energy modes, a representative example of which is the formation of molecular spin liquid-like fluctuations in a frustrated magnet. Here we present single-crystal inelastic neutron scattering results for the frustrated magnet MgCr$_2$O$_4$, which show that a common set of finite-energy molecular spin excitation modes is sustained in both the liquid-like paramagnetic phase and a magnetically ordered phase with an extremely complex structure. Based on this finding, we propose the concept of high degeneracy in excited states, which promotes local resonant elementary excitations. This concept is expected to have ramifications on our understanding of excitations in many complex systems, including not only spin but also atomic liquids, complex order systems, and amorphous systems.

The frustrated magnet SrDy$_2$O$_4$ exhibits a field-induced phase with a magnetization plateau at $1/3$ of the saturation value for magnetic fields applied along the $b$-axis. We report here a neutron scattering study of the nature and symmetry of t
he magnetic order in this field-induced phase. Below $Tapprox 0.5$ K, there are strong hysteretic effects, and the order is short or long ranged for zero-field and field cooling, respectively. We find that the long-range ordered magnetic structure within the zig-zag chains is identical to that expected for the one-dimensional axial next-nearest neighbour Ising (ANNNI) model in longitudinal field. The long-range ordered structure in field contrasts with the short-range order found at zero field, and is probably reached through enhanced quantum fluctuations with increasing fields.
We report single-crystal neutron diffraction studies on a spinel antiferromagnet GeCo$_2$O$_4$, which exhibits magnetic order with a trigonal propagation vector and tetragonal lattice expansion ($c/asimeq1.001$) below $T_{rm N}=21$ K. For this incons
istency between spin and lattice in symmetry, magnetic Bragg reflections with a tetragonal propagation vector were discovered below $T_{rm N}$. We discuss spin and orbital states of Co$^{2+}$ ion underlying the new magnetic component.
Muon spin relaxation ($mu$SR) measurements were carried out on SrDy$_2$O$_4$, a frustrated magnet featuring short range magnetic correlations at low temperatures. Zero-field muon spin depolarization measurements demonstrate that fast magnetic fluctua
tions are present from $T=300$ K down to 20 mK. The coexistence of short range magnetic correlations and fluctuations at $T=20$ mK indicates that SrDy$_2$O$_4$ features a spin liquid ground state. Large longitudinal fields affect weakly the muon spin depolarization, also suggesting the presence of fast fluctuations. For a longitudinal field of $mu_0H=2$ T, a non-relaxing asymmetry contribution appears below $T=6$ K, indicating considerable slowing down of the magnetic fluctuations as field-induced magnetically-ordered phases are approached.
We determined the magnetic structure of CuCr$_2$O$_4$ using neutron diffraction and irreducible representation analysis. The measurements identified a new phase between 155 K and 125 K as nearly collinear magnetic ordering in the Cr pyrochlore lattic
e. Below 125 K, a Cu-Cr ferrimagnetic component develops the noncollinear order. Along with the simultaneously obtained O positions and the quantum effect of spin-orbit coupling, the magnetic structure is understood to involve spin-orbit ordering, accompanied by an appreciably deformed orbital of presumably spin-only Cu and Cr.
The search for flat-band solid-state realizations is a crucial issue to verify or to challenge theoretical predictions for quantum many-body flat-band systems. For frustrated quantum magnets flat bands lead to various unconventional properties relate
d to the existence of localized many-magnon states. The recently synthesized magnetic compound Ba$_2$CoSi$_2$O$_6$Cl$_2$ seems to be an almost perfect candidate to observe these features in experiments. We develop a theory for Ba$_2$CoSi$_2$O$_6$Cl$_2$ by adapting the localized-magnon concept to this compound. We first show that our theory describes the known experimental facts and then we propose new experimental studies to detect a field-driven phase transition related to a Wigner-crystal-like ordering of localized magnons at low temperatures.
