Competing interactions are a common
feature in physical and biological systems. Novel and complex phenomena
emerge as systems attempt to resolve the frustration by reorganizing
the underlying degrees of freedom. An extreme situation can be found in
magnetic systems with triangular spin arrangements where all magnetic
interactions cannot be satisfied due to the topology of the lattice,
possibly leading to an infinite zero-point entropy. The important
issues in this field are (1) what the nature of the spin liquid phase
is and (2) how the system responds to the ground state degeneracy. I
will discuss these issues with neutron scattering results obtained from
some spinel antiferromagnets AM2O4 where the transition metal M ions
form a network of corner-sharing tetrahedrons.
