abstract = {The A-site spinel material CoAl2O4 is a physical
realization of the frustrated diamond-lattice
antiferromagnet, a model in which unique incommensurate or
“spin-spiral-liquid” ground states are predicted. Our
previous single-crystal neutron scattering study instead
classified it as a “kinetically inhibited”
antiferromagnet, where the long-ranged correlations of a
collinear Néel ground state are blocked by the freezing of
domain-wall motion below a first-order phase transition at
T∗=6.5 K. This paper provides new data sets from a number
of experiments, which support and expand this work in
several important ways. We show that the phenomenology
leading to the kinetically inhibited order is unaffected by
sample measured and instrument resolution, while new
low-temperature measurements reveal spin correlations are
unchanging between T=2 K and 250 mK, consistent with a
frozen state. Polarized diffuse neutron measurements show
several interesting magnetic features, which can be entirely
explained by the existence of short-ranged Néel order.
Finally, and crucially, this paper presents some neutron
scattering studies of single crystalline MnAl2O4, which acts
as an unfrustrated analog to CoAl2O4 and shows all the
hallmarks of a classical antiferromagnet with a continuous
phase transition to Néel order at TN=39 K. Direct
comparison between the two compounds indicates that CoAl2O4
is unique, not in the nature of high-temperature diffuse
correlations, but rather in the nature of the frozen state
below T∗. The higher level of cation inversion in the
MnAl2O4 sample indicates that this behavior is primarily an
effect of greater next-nearest-neighbor exchange.},
