Overview: Brings together experts in glasses, geometrical frustration, and functional materials.Covers theory, experiment, and simulations of ferroics.Features an easy-to-read introduction in each chapter to ma.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to ferroics and frustrated materials. Ferroics comprise a range of materials classes with functionalities such as magnetism, polarization, and orbital degrees of freedom and strain. Frustration, due to geometrical constraints, and disorder, due to chemical and/or structural inhomogeneities, can lead to glassy behavior, which has either bee
