摘要: Abstract Neutron diffraction from a powder sample of Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) has been measured. Due to the severe degree magnetic frustration, GGG supports short-range order (spin-liquid) over wide temperature range, 140 mK −5 K. shows that at temperatures below system undergoes partial transition phase with much longer correlation length. However, even lowest (43 mK) true long-range is absent.
