Abstract
The effects of disorder on the geometrically frustrated magnet are examined through magnetic susceptibility and inelastic neutron-scattering measurements on 3% Cd doping destroys the Neél order of the parent compound, replacing it with a frozen phase of spin-correlated nanoclusters. The local spin structure of these nanoclusters endures through the paramagnetic, spin-glass, and Néel phases of the material.
