Abstract

Phase transitions of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg model on several decorated planar lattices consisting of interconnected diamonds are investigated within the framework of the generalized decoration-iteration transformation. The main attention is paid to the systematic study of the finite-temperature phase diagrams in dependence on the lattice topology. The critical behaviour of the hybrid quantum-classical Ising-Heisenberg model is compared with the relevant behaviour of its semi-classical Ising analogue. It is shown that both models on diamond-like decorated planar lattices exhibit a striking critical behaviour including reentrant phase transitions. The higher the lattice coordination number is, the more pronounced reentrance may be detected.

Reentrant phenomenon in the exactly solvable mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg model on diamond-like decorated planar lattices

Lucia Čanová, Jozef Strečka

Ground-state and finite-temperature behaviour of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising–Heisenberg model on decorated planar lattices consisting of inter-connected diamonds is investigated by means of the generalised decoration–iteration mapping transformation. The obtained exact results clearly point out that this model has a rather complex ground state composed of two unusual quantum phases, which is valid regardless of the lattice topology as well as the spatial dimensionality of the investigated system. It is shown that the diamond-like decorated planar lattices with a sufficiently high coordination number may exhibit a striking critical behaviour including reentrant phase transitions with two or three consecutive critical points.

Thermal first-order phase transitions, Ising critical points, and reentrance in the Ising-Heisenberg model on the diamond-decorated square lattice in a magnetic field

Jozef Strečka, Katarína Karľová, Taras Verkholyak +3 more

The thermal phase transitions of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on the diamond-decorated square lattice in a magnetic field are investigated using a decoration-iteration transformation and classical Monte Carlo simulations. A generalized decoration-iteration transformation maps this model exactly onto an effective classical Ising model on the square lattice with temperature-dependent effective nearest-neighbor interactions and magnetic field strength. The effective field vanishes along a ground-state phase boundary of the original model, separating a ferrimagnetic and a quantum monomer-dimer phase. At finite temperatures this phase boundary gives rise to an exactly solvable surface of discontinuous (first-order) phase transitions, which terminates in a line of Ising critical points. The existence of discontinuous reentrant phase transitions within a narrow parameter regime is reported and explained in terms of the low-energy excitations from both phases. These exact results, obtained from the mapping to the zero-field effective Ising model, are corroborated by classical Monte Carlo simulations of the effective model.

The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a diamond-decorated square lattice exhibits an intriguing temperature-driven phase transition in a magnetic field between a classical ferrimagnetic phase and a quantum monomer-dimer phase. A generalized decoration-iteration transformation accurately maps the considered model to an effective spin-1/2 Ising model on a square lattice with temperature-dependent effective interactions and field, whereby the effective field vanishes at the phase boundary separating the classical ferrimagnetic phase from the quantum monomer-dimer phase. Typical features of the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat in the vicinity of discontinuous and continuous thermal phase transitions between the classical ferrimagnetic phase and the quantum monomer-dimer phase are elucidated.
