Degenerate manifolds, helimagnets, and multi-Q chiral phases in the classical Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the face-centered-cubic lattice

We present a detailed study of the ground-state phase diagram of the classical frustrated Heisenberg model on the face-centered-cubic lattice. By considering exchange interactions to third nearest neighbors, we find commensurate, helimagnetic, as well as noncollinear, multi-Q orders which include no...
