This book is intended for postgraduate students as well as researchers in various areas of physics such as statistical physics, magnetism and materials sciences

The field of highly frustrated magnetism has developed considerably and expanded over the last 15 years. Issuing from canonical geometric frustration of interac

Systems displaying competing interactions of some kind are widespread - much more, in fact, as commonly anticipated (magnetic and Ising-type interactions or the

Many macroscopic properties of materials are determined primarily by inhomogeneous structures and textures. These intermediate-scale structures often arise from

This book covers all principal aspects of currently investigated frustrated systems, from exactly solved frustrated models to real experimental frustrated syste
