Although magnetic frustration in metals provides a promising avenue for novel quantum phenomena, their microscopic interpretation is often challenging. Here, we use the face-centered cubic intermetallic HoInCu_{4} as model material to show that Hamiltonians neglecting the charge degree of freedom are appropriate for frustrated metals possessing low density of states at the Fermi surface. Through neutron scattering techniques we determine matching magnetic exchange interactions in the paramagnetic and field-polarized states using an effective spin-1 Heisenberg Hamiltonian, for which we identify antiferromagnetic nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions J_{1} and J_{2} that are close to the critical ratio J_{2}/J_{1}=1/2.

One of the quintessential properties of altermagnets is the presence of split chiral magnon modes. Recently, such modes have been predicted in MnF_{2}.

However, to our best knowledge, unconventional magnetic states driven by van Hove singularities-like spin-density waves-have not been observed experimentally in kagome metals. Here, we report the magnetic and electronic structure of the layered kagome metal CeTiBi, where Ti kagome electronic structure interacts with a magnetic sublattice of Ce J = 1/2 moments.

The detailed anisotropic dispersion of the low-temperature, low-energy magnetic excitations of the candidate spin-triplet superconductor UTe is revealed using inelastic neutron scattering. The magnetic excitations emerge from the Brillouin zone boundary at the high symmetry and points and disperse along the crystallographic -axis. In applied magnetic fields to at least = 11 T along the , the magnetism is found to be field-independent in the ( 0) plane.
