| الوصف: | CaFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is an anisotropic $S={5\over 2}$ antiferromagnet with two competing $A$ ($\uparrow \uparrow \downarrow \downarrow$) and $B$ ($\uparrow \downarrow \uparrow \downarrow$) magnetic order parameters separated by static antiphase boundaries at low temperatures. Neutron diffraction and bulk susceptibility measurements, show that the spins near these boundaries are weakly correlated and a carry an uncompensated ferromagnetic moment that can be tuned with a magnetic field. Spectroscopic measurements find these spins are bound with excitation energies less than the bulk magnetic spin-waves and resemble the spectra from isolated spin-clusters. Localized bound orphaned spins separate the two competing magnetic order parameters in CaFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$. Comment: (main text - 5 pages, 4 figures; supplementary information - 4 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Physical Review Letters). arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1606.04243 |
