We report x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, $^{1}$H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and muon spin relaxation ($mu$SR) measurements, as well as density-functional band-structure calculations for the frustrated $S=3/2$ triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet (TLHAF) $alpha$-HCrO$_{2}$ (trigonal, space group: $Rbar{3}m$). This compound undergoes a clear magnetic transition at $T_{rm N} simeq 22.5$~K, as seen from the drop in the muon paramagnetic fraction and concurrent anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat. Local probes (NMR and $mu$SR) reveal a broad regime with slow fluctuations down to $0.7,T_{rm N}$, this temperature corresponding to the maximum in the $mu$SR relaxation rate and in the NMR wipe-out. From the comparison with NaCrO$_{2}$ and $alpha$-KCrO$_{2}$, the fluctuating regime and slow dynamics below $T_{rm N}$ appear to be hallmarks of the TLHAF with $ABC$ stacking that leads to a frustration of interlayer couplings between the triangular planes. This interlayer frustration is a powerful lever to generate spin states with persistent dynamics and may bear implications to spin-liquid candidates with the triangular geometry.

In this paper we study the switching properties of the dynamics of magnetic moments, that interact with an elastic medium. To do so we construct a Hamiltonian framework, that can take into account the dynamics in phase space of the variables that des cribe the magnetic moments in a consistent way. It is convenient to describe the magnetic moments as bilinears of anticommuting variables that are their own conjugates. However, we show how it is possible to avoid having to deal directly with the anticommuting variables themselves, only using them to deduce non-trivial constraints on the magnetoelastic couplings. We construct the appropriate Poisson bracket and a geometric integration scheme, that is symplectic in the extended phase space and that allows us to study the switching properties of the magnetization, that are relevant for applications, for the case of a toy model for antiferromagnetic NiO, under external stresses. In the absence of magnetoelastic coupling, we recover the results reported in the literature and in our previous studies. In the presence of the magnetoelastic coupling, the characteristic oscillations of the mechanical system have repercussions on the Neel order parameter dynamics. This is particularly striking for the spin accumulation which is more than doubled by the coupling to the strain ; here as well, the mechanical oscillations are reflected on the magnetic dynamics. As a consequence of such a stress induced strain, the switching time of the magnetization is slightly faster and the amplitude of the magnetization enhanced.
The magnetic properties of a new family of molecular-based quasi-two dimension $S=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnets are reported. Three compounds, ($Cu(pz)_2(ClO_4)_2$, $Cu(pz)_2(BF_4)_2$, and $[Cu(pz)_2(NO_3)](PF_6)$) contain similar planes of Cu$^{2 +}$ ions linked into magnetically square lattices by bridging pyrazine molecules (pz = $C_4H_4N_2$). The anions provide charge balance as well as isolation between the layers. Single crystal measurements of susceptibility and magnetization, as well as muon spin relaxation studies, reveal low ratios of N{e}el temperatures to exchange strengths ($4.25 / 17.5 = 0.243$, $3.80/15.3=0.248$, and $3.05/10.8=0.282$, respectively) while the ratio of the anisotropy fields $H_A$ (kOe) to the saturation field $H_mathrm{SAT}$ (kOe) are small ($2.6/490 = 5.3times10^{-3}$, $2.4/430=5.5times10^{-3}$, and $0.07/300=2.3times10^{-4}$, respectively), demonstrating close approximations to a 2D Heisenberg model. The susceptibilities of ClO$_4$ and BF$_4$ show evidence of an exchange anisotropy crossover (Heisenberg to $XY$) at low temperatures; their ordering transitions are primarily driven by the $XY$ behavior with the ultimate 3D transition appearing parasitically. The PF$_6$ compound remains Heisenberg-like at all temperatures, with its transition to the N{e}el state due to the interlayer interactions. Effects of field-induced anisotropy have been observed.
In this Letter, we report the results of ESR measurements in high magnetic fields up to about 53 T on single crystals of NiGa2S4 to clarify the spin dynamics in more detail. We have found that the dynamics of Z2 vortices affects the temperature depen dence of the ESR absorption linewidth and the frequency dependence of the ESR resonance fields at 1.3 K is well explained by a conventional spin wave theory. These results suggest an occurrence of Z2 vortex-induced topological transition.
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 review, we juxtapose recent theoretical developments that trace the parameter regime of the spin-liquid phase, with experimental results for Co-based and Yb-based triangular antiferromagnets. Unconventional spin dynamics arising from both ordered and disordered ground states is discussed, and the notion of a geometrically perfect triangular system is scrutinized to demonstrate non-trivial imperfections that may assist magnetic frustration in stabilizing dynamic spin states with peculiar excitations.
The flat band has attracted a lot of attention because it gives rise to many exotic phases, as recently demonstrated in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we identify a metal-insulator transition in bo ron triangular Kagome lattice with a spin-polarized flat band at 2/3-filling. This phase transition is accompanied by the formation of a Wigner crystal, which is driven by Fermi surface nesting effect and thereby strong electron-phonon interactions, keeping ferromagnetism. Our calculation results suggest that boron triangular Kagome lattices with partially filled flat bands may open a new playground for many exotic quantum phases in two-dimensional systems, such as Winger crystallization and fractional quantum Hall states.
