Geometrical frustration is a concept that arises in condensed matter physics, particularly in the study of magnetic materials and spin systems. It refers to a situation where the geometric arrangement of interactions among particles (such as spins) prevents them from simultaneously minimizing their energy, leading to a highly degenerate ground state with many possible configurations.
