Effects of geometrical frustration on the spin-glass transition
1Materials Science Research Division, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Tokai, Ibaraki 319-1195, Japan.
Abstract:
Randomness and frustration are important for the spin-glass transitions. Ising antiferromagnet on a stacked triangular lattice is a highly frustrated system. Phase diagram is obtained within a cluster approximation for the system with randomness in the interaction between Ising spins. To see the frustration effects, the phase diagram of the antiferromagnet is compared with the corresponding one of the ferromagnet. Spin-glass phase of the antiferromagnet appears much more easily by the randomness than that of the ferromagnet.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...
