Frustrated Magnetism — Kagome Lattice

Corner-sharing triangles → geometric frustration → spin liquid | AF bonds cannot all be satisfied

Temperature T/|J| 0.20

Interaction J (−=AF) -1.0

MC speed 10 steps/frame

MC sweeps 0

Up (red) / Down (blue)
Bond color: satisfied (dim) / frustrated (bright orange)
Kagome: 3 sites/unit cell, z=4
T_c = 0 for AF kagome (spin liquid!)
