abstract = {Frustrated magnetic systems exhibit highly degenerate
ground states and strong fluctuations, often leading to new
physics. An intriguing example of current interest is the
antiferromagnet on a diamond lattice, realized physically in
A-site spinel materials. This is a prototypical system in
three dimensions where frustration arises from competing
interactions rather than purely geometric constraints, and
theory suggests the possibility of unusual magnetic order at
low temperature. Here, we present a comprehensive
single-crystal neutron scattering study of CoAl2O4, a highly
frustrated A-site spinel. We observe strong diffuse
scattering that peaks at wavevectors associated with Néel
ordering. Below the temperature T∗ = 6.5 K, there is a
dramatic change in the elastic scattering lineshape
accompanied by the emergence of well-defined spin-wave
excitations. T∗ had previously been associated with the
onset of glassy behavior. Our new results suggest instead
that T∗ signifies a first-order phase transition, but with
true long-range order inhibited by the kinetic freezing of
domain walls. This scenario might be expected to occur
widely in frustrated systems containing first-order phase
transitions and is a natural explanation for existing
reports of anomalous glassy behavior in other materials.},
