Dear colleagues,
we would like to bring to your attention the workshop on
Impurities and Textures in Unconventional Magnets
2 - 4 April 2012
Scientific Coordinators:
Roderich Moessner (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme
Dresden, Germany)
Hirokazu Tsunetsugu (The Institute for Solid State Physics, The
University of Tokyo, Chiba, Japan)
Organisation:
Katrin Lantsch (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme
Dresden, Germany)

Scope:
Impurities play an important role in the study of new spin states. On
one hand, they
are an important fact of life when analysing magnetic compounds such as putative
spin liquids in their imperfect materials realisations. On the other,
they can act as
formidable probes of spin states which are otherwise featureless, such
as topological
spin liquids. In particular, they have been found both to enhance or
inhibit ordering
tendencies, or to nucleate extended textured spin patterns around them.
More broadly, the appearance of textures is a particular form of
unconventional order
in magnetism, an extreme form of non-collinearity which may be
stabilised by a number
of mechanisms such as spin-orbit coupling or flux-charge commensurability.
This three-day workshop is devoted to exploring these two aspects of
unconventional
magnetism in a focused manner.
