Competing interactions in Quantum Materials induce novel states of matter such as frustrated magnets, an extensive field of research both from the theoretical and experimental perspectives. Here, we show that competing energy scales present in the low-dimensional orbital-selective Mott phase (OSMP) induce an exotic magnetic order, never reported before. Earlier neutron scattering experiments on iron-based 123 ladder materials, where OSMP is relevant, already confirmed our previous theoretical prediction of block-magnetism (magnetic order of the form $uparrowuparrowdownarrowdownarrow$). Now we argue that another novel phase can be stabilized in multi-orbital Hubbard models, the {it block-spiral state}. In this state, the magnetic islands form a spiral propagating through the chain but with the blocks maintaining their identity, namely rigidly rotating. This new spiral state is stabilized without any apparent frustration, the common avenue to generate spiral arrangements in multiferroics. By examining the behaviour of the electronic degrees of freedom, parity breaking quasiparticles are revealed. Finally, a simple phenomenological model that accurately captures the macroscopic spin spiral arrangement is also introduced, and fingerprints for the neutron scattering experimental detection of our new state are provided.

SrHo2O4 is a geometrically frustrated magnet in which the magnetic Ho3+ ions form honeycomb layers connected through a network of zigzag chains. At low-temperature two distinct types of short-range magnetic order can be inferred from single crystal d iffraction data, collected using both polarized and unpolarized neutrons. In the (hk0) plane the diffuse scattering is most noticeable around the k = 0 positions and its intensity rapidly increases at temperatures below 0.7 K. In addition, planes of diffuse scattering at Q = (hk +/- l/2) are visible at temperatures as high as 4.5 K. These planes coexist with the broad peaks of diffuse scattering in the (hk0) plane at low-temperatures. Correlation lengths associated with the broad peaks are L ~ 150 {AA} in the a-b plane and L ~ 190 {AA} along c axis, while the correlation length associated with the diffuse scattering planes is L ~ 230 {AA} along the c axis at the lowest temperature. Both types of diffuse scattering are elastic in nature. The highly unusual coexistance of the two types of diffuse scattering in SrHo2O4 is likely to be the result of the presence of two crystallographically inequivalent sites for Ho3+ in the unit cell.
We study the spin-1 honeycomb lattice magnets with frustrated exchange interactions. The proposed microscopic spin model contains first and second neighbor Heisenberg interactions as well as the single-ion anisotropy. We establish a rich phase diagra m that includes a featureless quantum paramagnet and various spin spiral states induced by the mechanism of order by quantum disorder. Although the quantum paramagnet is dubbed featureless, it is shown that, the magnetic excitations develop a contour degeneracy in the reciprocal space at the band minima. These contour degenerate excitations are responsible for the frustrated criticality from the quantum paramagnet to the ordered phases. This work illustrates the effects of magnetic frustration on both magnetic orderings and the magnetic excitations. We discuss the experimental relevance to various Ni-based honeycomb lattice magnets.
We investigate properties of a spin-1 Heisenberg model with extended and biquadratic interactions, which captures crucial aspects of the low energy physics in FeSe. While we show that the model exhibits a rich phase diagram with four different magnet ic ordering tendencies, we identify a parameter regime with strong competition between N`eel, staggered dimer, and stripe-like magnetic fluctuations, accounting for the physical properties of FeSe. Through the comparison of numerically evaluated spin and Raman response with experiments, we find evidence for enhanced magnetic frustration between N`eel and co-linear stripe ordering tendencies, which increases with increasing temperature. The explanation of these spectral behaviors with this frustrated spin model supports the idea of local spin interactions in FeSe.
Magnetic ($chi$), transport ($rho$) and heat capacity ($C_m$)properties of CeIrSi are investigated to elucidate the effect of geometric frustration in this compound with trillium type structure because, notwithstanding its robust effective moment, $m u_{rm eff}approx 2.46mu_B$, this Ce-lattice compound does not undergo a magnetic transition. In spite of that it shows broad $C_m(T)/T$ and $chi(T)$ maxima centered at $T_{max}approx 1.5$,K, while a $rho propto T^2$ thermal dependence, characteristic of electronic spin coherent fluctuations, is observed below $T_{coh} approx 2.5$,K. Magnetic field does not affect significantly the position of the mentioned maxima up to $approx 1$,T, though $chi(T)$ shows an incipient structure that completely vanishes at $mu_0 H approx 1$,T. Concerning the $rho propto T^2$ dependence, it is practically not affected by magnetic field up to $mu_0 H = 9$,T, with the residual resistivity $rho_0(H)$ slightly decreasing and $T_{coh}(H)$ increasing. These results are compared with the physical properties observed in other frustrated intermetallic compounds

Identifying the time reversal symmetry of spins as a symplectic symmetry, we develop a large N approximation for quantum magnetism that embraces both antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism. In SU(N), N>2, not all spins invert under time reversal, so w e have introduced a new large N treatment which builds interactions exclusively out of the symplectic subgroup [SP(N)] of time reversing spins, a more stringent condition than the symplectic symmetry of previous SP(N) large N treatments. As a result, we obtain a mean field theory that incorporates the energy cost of frustrated bonds. When applied to the frustrated square lattice, the ferromagnetic bonds restore the frustration dependence of the critical spin in the Neel phase, and recover the correct frustration dependence of the finite temperature Ising transition.
