Low-temperature properties of classical geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets
We study the ground-state and low-energy properties of classical vector spin models with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions on a class of geometrically frustrated lattices, which includes the kagome and pyrochlore lattices. We explore the behavior of these magnets that results from their large ground-state degeneracies, emphasizing universal features and systematic differences …
