Effects of Non-Stoichiometry on the Ground State of the Frustrated System Li<sub>0.8</sub>Ni<sub>0.6</sub>Sb<sub>0.4</sub>O<sub>2</sub>

The non-stoichiometric system Li<sub>0.8</sub>Ni<sub>0.6</sub>Sb<sub>0.4</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is a Li-deficient derivative of the zigzag honeycomb antiferromagnet Li<sub>3</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>SbO<sub>6</sub>. Structural...
