Springer Series in Materials Science Volume 275 Frustrated Materials and Ferroic Glasses will be of interest to a wide range of readers in condensed matter physics and materials science. The chapters are written by experts in their fields and span experiment and theory, as well as simulations. The purpose of this work is to collect in a single volume the range of materials systems with differing functionalities that show many of the common characteristics of geometrical frustration, where interacting degrees of freedom do not fit in a lattice or medium, and glassy behavior is accompanied by additional presence of disorder. In addition, there are new states of matter, such as spin ice however, it is still an open question as to whether these systems belong to the same family or universality class. Just as in prototypical spin glass and structural glasses, the elements of frustration and disorder lead to non-ergodocity, history dependence, frequency dependent relaxation behavior, and the presence of inhomogeneous nano clusters or domains.

Interesting and unusual properties are found to be associated with these glasses and have potential for novel applications. Frustration, due to geometrical constraints, and disorder, due to chemical and/or structural inhomogeneities, can lead to glassy behavior, which has either been directly observed or inferred in a range of materials classes from model systems such as artificial spin ice, shape memory alloys, and ferroelectrics to electronically functional materials such as manganites.

Ferroics comprise a range of materials classes with functionalities such as magnetism, polarization, and orbital degrees of freedom and strain.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to ferroics and frustrated materials.
