Research into magnetic materials and frustrated magnets

Some time ago I wrote a feature article for EPSRC Newsline about frustrated magnets, the article is available on sciencebase.com and has attracted the attention of a fair few web surfers. Interestingly, the most recent of them hit the page in question while searching for “picture of a frustrated parent”. Odd, I thought. So, I did the search myself on the SE they’d used and found that very page at #3 in the search engine results page (SERP)!

Now, I know websurfing can be a frantic occupation, but surely the text that was displayed in the SERP didn’t point to any photographic evidence of parental frustration…

“The conventional picture of a magnet says each atom in a material … Harrison. In such a ‘frustrated’ lattice, the conventional forces … Harrison spotted the parent compound, potassium hydroxy …”

Whatever. I hope the surfer in question found their picture in the end. I could provide one of a frustrated webmaster easily…
