Nonplanar ground states of frustrated antiferromagnets on an octahedral lattice

We consider methods to identify the classical ground state for an exchange-coupled Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a non-Bravais lattice with interactions J[subscript ij] to several neighbor distances. Here, we apply this to the unusual “octahedral” lattice in which spins sit on the edge midpoints of...
