Magnetization, specific heat, magnetic resonance and neutron diffraction measurements are used to study the magnetic structure of KFe(MoO4)2. This stacked triangular antiferromagnet (TN=2.5 K) demonstrates an unusual breaking of the spin system into two intercalated and almost independent 2D subsystems. One is a collinear antiferromagnet with a simple spin-flop behavior. The other is a spiral magnet. The spin structure may be explained assuming two types of inequivalent magnetic planes with…

On the possible coexistence of spiral and collinear structures in antiferromagnetic KFe(MoO4)2
The static and resonance properties of a quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet phase on a distorted triangular lattice of KFe(MoO4)2 have been experimentally studied. Magnetization curves exhibit…
Chiral and collinear ordering in a distorted triangular antiferromagnet.
TLDR
Magnetization, specific heat, and neutron diffraction measurements are used to map out the entire magnetic phase diagram of KFe(MoO4)2, which shows a simple spin-flop behavior in applied magnetic fields.
Quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet on a triangular latticeRbFe(MoO4)2
RbFe(MoO 4 ) 2 is a rare example of a nearly two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. Magnetic resonance spectra and magnetization curves reveal that the system has a…
Direct transition from a disordered to a multiferroic phase on a triangular lattice.
TLDR
A Landau expansion of symmetry-allowed terms in the free energy demonstrates that chiral magnetic order can give rise to a pseudoelectric field, whose temperature dependence agrees with experiment.
Phenomenological Approach to Structural Phase Transitions in Trigonal Double Molybdates and Tungstates
Structural phase transitions are investigated in crystals of the isostructural compounds MRA2 (M alkali metal, R trivalent metal, A anion (MoO4)2- or (WO4)2-). A group-theoretical analysis of…
Experimental realization of a 2D fractional quantum spin liquid.
TLDR
The dynamic correlations show a highly dispersive continuum of excited states, characteristic of the resonating valence bond state, arising from pairs of S = 1/2 spinons.
