Recent studies of spin correlations in materials belonging to the swedenborgite compound family (P63mc)[1] exhibit signs of unusual strong geometric frustration: at low temperatures, indications for quasi 2D spin correlations, spin glass/liquid states, and also rather complex, partly ordered ground states have been observed.[2-3] Several groups have investigated this compound family with different stoichiometry, mainly focusing on solving structural and ground state configurations (f.e. [4]). Since the material characteristics are dominated by the strong magnetic frustration, excitations are very sensitive to small changes in ordering and exchange interactions. We will present neutron inelastic scattering on a single crystal of the compound CaBaCo2Fe2O7, that have been obtained from triple axis (PANDA) and thermal time-of-flight scattering (ARCS). The experimental results will be discussed in comparison with theoretical calculations of the phase diagram and the spin dynamics based on nearest neighbor Heisenberg models.
