Figure one shows the pyrochlore lattice structure of spin ice and spins on a tetrahedron. The left shows Pyrochlore lattice structure. Each lattice point (red) hosts an electron spin. The right ...

Magnetism plays a crucial role in achieving zero thermal expansion. The new pyrochlore magnet is a cubic lattice composed of corner-sharing tetrahedra. This unique arrangement fosters strong ...

For the spheres to crystallize on a diamond or pyrochlore lattice, both of which are quite open, another trick is needed. Previously, it had been proposed to stack two different types of spheres 9.

Unlike crystalline materials with a perfectly repeating lattice structure, the pyrochlore magnet exhibits compositional variations, with localized differences in cobalt concentration. These ...
