Title: Incoherent transport in a classical spin liquid

Authors: Yao Wang, Yuan Wan
Abstract: We study the energy and spin transport of the classical spin liquid hosted by the pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet in the large $S$ limit. Molecular dynamics calculation suggests that both the energy and spin diffusion constants approach finite limits as the temperature tends to zero. We explain our results in terms of an effective disorder model, where the energy/spin-carrying normal modes propagate in a quasi-static disordered spin background. The finite zero temperature limits of the diffusion constants are then naturally understood as a result of the finite mean free path of the normal modes due to the effective disorder.
